  Abstract

As to medium data which is involved in the form of streaming for a multimedia application, it characterizes that spatial locality occurs strongly but temporal locality appears even weaker. In this paper, with regard to dynamic prefetching, we suggest a method to make the most of memory reference regularities which typically innate by nature in the multimedia data with strong spatial locality but with weak temporal locality. Especially, the suggested method has a remarkable capability such that it can reduce prefeching errors substantially compared to existing prefetching methods for an application program which divides an array into small sub-blocks and, plus executes in the unit of sub-block. We carried out experiments to test the suggested method using various MediaBench benchmarks. From the results, we have confirmed that the occurrences of prefetching error decrease effectively than those of existing linear prefetching methods.
