Hello Everyone, I am Utpal, a graduate student at IIT Hyderabad, India. I have been studying software prefetching implementation in GCC as part of my Compilers Optimization course. However, I could not find any reference paper that has been used to implement -fprefetch-loop-arrays pass in GCC. Can someone point me to the research paper if any, or any other documentation describing the algorithm used? Also on the Data Prefetch Support webpage, it has been mentioned that prefetch for pointers has not been implemented yet and can be implemented in future as -fprefetch-pointers pass. Is There any work going on right now? Kindly guide me in understanding the topic. Thanks in advance for giving your precious time. -- Regards, Utpal Bora Graduate Student, Computer Science & Engineering, IIT Hyderabad India
