Nettetprefetch (x) attempts to pre-emptively get the memory pointed to by address "x" into the CPU L1 cache. prefetch (x) should not cause any kind of exception, prefetch (0) is specifically ok. prefetch () should be defined by the architecture, if not, the #define below provides a no-op define.

It can’t possibly fill the RAM up, in a way that all users benefit from prefetch. Prefetch should be a ok solution if you have lots of RAM so you can fill it up. If you have lesser RAM and lots of users, then it is a very bad solution as it will generate page faults faster. i have exhausted my unemployment benefits
