Speculative Prefetching - Jegou, Temam (1993)   (22 citations)  Self-citation (Temam)   (Correct)

....of accesses in these codes. Prefetching benefits such codes because there is some random regularity in irregular codes. This is true for CPR, but even more for SpMV since it has been shown that sparse computations exhibit some regularity and locality due to the structure of sparse matrices (cf [13]) Hit ratios The main effect of Speculative Prefetching is to increase the global hit ratio (i.e hit ratio of cache plus prefetch cache) The cache and global hit ratio are indicated on figure 15. For most regular codes, the prefetch cache absorbs a major part of cache misses. Except for CPR, ....

....of sparse matrices. In section 2 of this paper, spatial and temporal locality of SpMxV is qualitatively evaluated and potential problems are identified. Then, in section 3, a meaningful share of the paper is devoted to modeling the non regular references which appear in SpMxV are presented (see [12] for details of the model) because a necessary prerequisite to evaluating and optimizing a primitive is a good understanding of its behavior. Besides, the purpose of this section is to show that it is possible to predict the behavior and performance of sparse codes, and to actually quantify their ....

Figure 5: Problem parameters (cf. [12]) 2.1 Data locality A first step to understanding the behavior of SpMxV on cache is to study the locality of the data used by this primitive. Since there are N nz references to arrays X, Index and Matrix, and 2N references to arrays Y and D, the total number of references is 3 N nz 4 N (cf. ....
