Abstract

A processor (102) transfers prefetch requests from their targeted cache (104) to another cache (105) in a memory hierarchy based on a fullness of a miss address buffer (MAB) (130) or based on confidence levels of the prefetch requests. Each cache in the memory hierarchy is assigned a number of slots at the MAB. In response to determining the fullness of the slots assigned to a cache is above a threshold when a prefetch request to the cache is received (404) the processor transfers the prefetch request to the next lower level cache in the memory hierarchy (410). In response the data targeted by the access request is prefetched to the next lower level cache in the memory hierarchy and is therefore available for subsequent provision to the cache. In addition the processor can transfer a prefetch request to lower level caches based on a confidence level of a prefetch request.
