Abstract:
An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes main memory control logic circuitry comprising prefetch intelligence logic circuitry. The prefetch intelligence circuitry to determine, from a read result of a load instruction, an address for a dependent load that is dependent on the read result and direct a read request for the dependent load to a main memory to fetch the dependent load's data.
