Prefetch<br />

You Can Expect More<br />

• Prefetchers try to ensure that agents doing tablespace<br />

scans never wait for disk I/O<br />

• Agents send asynchronous read-ahead request to common<br />

prefetch queue<br />

• Prefetchers service the request by bringing the requested<br />

pages into the buffer pool<br />

• Should result in logical read, drive hit rate up<br />

• Two types:<br />

– List prefetch, efficiently reads a set of non-consecutive data pages<br />

– Sequential prefetch, reads consecutive pages
