A technique for data prefetching using indirect addressing includes monitoring data pointer values, associated with an array, in an access stream to a memory. The technique determines whether a pattern exists in the data pointer values. A prefetch table is then populated with respective entries that correspond to respective array address/data pointer pairs based on a predicted pattern in the data pointer values. Respective data blocks (e.g., respective cache lines) are then prefetched (e.g., from the memory or another memory) based on the respective entries in the prefetch table.
