Embodiments relate to a method and computer program product for prefetching data on a chip. The chip has at least one scout core, multiple parent cores that cooperate together to execute various tasks, and a shared cache that is common between the scout core and the multiple parent cores. An aspect of the embodiments includes monitoring the multiple parent cores by the at least one scout core through the shared cache for a shared cache access occurring in a base parent core. The method includes saving a fetch address by the at least one scout core based on the shared cache access occurring. The fetch address indicates a location of a specific line of cache requested by the base parent core.
