Abstract:
Techniques relate to handling outstanding cache miss prefetches. A processor pipeline recognizes that a prefetch cancelling instruction is being executed. In response to recognizing that the prefetch cancelling instruction is being executed, all outstanding prefetches are evaluated according to a criterion as set forth by the prefetch cancelling instruction in order to select qualified prefetches. In response to evaluating, a cache subsystem is communicated with to cause cancelling of the qualified prefetches that fit the criterion. In response to successful cancelling of the qualified prefetches, a local cache is prevented from being updated from the qualified prefetches.

Claim (Index 5):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein checking whether the prefetch cancelling instruction is for cancelling the outstanding miss requests initiated through the pattern based prefetcher further comprises checking whether the outstanding miss requests have no corresponding instructions that are waiting for a cache line.
