Improved Prefetching Techniques for Linked Data Structures

My master’s thesis investigated improved prefetching techniques for linked data structures — pointer-intensive structures where sequential prefetching fails due to irregular memory access patterns.

Advised by Dr. Nikos Hardavellas, with committee members Dr. Peter Dinda and Dr. Russ Joseph.
