title = "Data access microarchitectures for superscalar processors with compiler-assisted data prefetching",
abstract = "The performance of superscrdar processors is more sensitive to the memory system delay than their single-issue predecessors. This paper examines alternative data access microarchitectures that effectively support compilerassisted data prefetching in superscalar processors. In particular, a prefetch buffer is shown to be more effective than increasing the cache dimension in solving the cache pollution problem. All in all, we show that a small data cache with compiler-assisted data prefetching can achieve a performance level close to that of an ideal cache.",
