Abstract:
A prefetch unit generates a prefetch address in response to an address associated with a memory read request received from the first or second cache. The prefetch unit includes a prefetch buffer that is arranged to store the prefetch address in an address buffer of a selected slot of the prefetch buffer, where each slot of the prefetch unit includes a buffer for storing a prefetch address, and two sub-slots. Each sub-slot includes a data buffer for storing data that is prefetched using the prefetch address stored in the slot, and one of the two sub-slots of the slot is selected in response to a portion of the generated prefetch address. Subsequent hits on the prefetcher result in returning prefetched data to the requestor in response to a subsequent memory read request received after the initial received memory read request.

Claim (Index 11):
The method of  claim 10 , wherein prefetched data is returned to the requestor in response to one of slots in the prefetch buffer being hit by the subsequent memory read request received after the initial received memory read request, and wherein prefetch operations are generated for 32, 64, 96 or 128 bytes of data, depending on whether the fetch hit the oldest, second oldest, second youngest or youngest slot in the buffer, respectively.
