Prefetch Operation
This LSI supports a prefetch instruction to reduce the cache fill penalty incurred as the result of a
cache miss. If it is known that a cache miss will result from a read or write operation, it is possible
to fill the cache with data beforehand by means of the prefetch instruction to prevent a cache miss
due to the read or write operation, and so improve software performance. If a prefetch instruction
is executed for data already held in the cache, or if the prefetch address results in a UTLB miss or
a protection violation, the result is no operation, and an exception is not generated. Details of the
prefetch instruction are given in section 11, Instruction Descriptions of the SH-4A Extended
Functions Software Manual.
