Memory controller that forces prefetches in response to a present row address change timing constraint
Patent
·
OSTI ID:1568243
An apparatus having a memory controller is described. The memory controller includes prefetch circuitry to prefetch, from a memory, data having a same row address in response to the memory controller's servicing of its request stream being stalled because of a timing constraint that prevents a change in row address. The memory controller also includes a cache to cache the prefetched data. The memory controller also includes circuitry to compare addresses of read requests in the memory controller's request stream against respective addresses of the prefetched data in the cache and to service those of the requests in the memory controller's request stream having a matching address with corresponding ones of the prefetched data in the cache.
