struct

PrefetchOptions

Collection of configuration parameters for a prefetch intrinsic call.

The op configuration follows similar interface as LLVM intrinsic prefetch op, with a "locality" attribute that specifies the level of temporal locality in the application, that is, how soon would the same data be visited again. Possible locality values are: NONE, LOW, MEDIUM, and HIGH.

The op also takes a "cache tag" attribute giving hints on how the prefetched data will be used. Possible tags are: ReadICache, ReadDCache and WriteDCache.

Note: the actual behavior of the prefetch op and concrete interpretation of these attributes are target-dependent.

Fields

  • rw (PrefetchRW): Indicates prefetching for read or write.
  • locality (PrefetchLocality): Indicates locality level.
  • cache (PrefetchCache): Indicates i-cache or d-cache prefetching.
