PRFB (scalar plus scalar)

Contiguous prefetch bytes (scalar index)

This instruction prefetches contiguous byte elements from the memory address generated by a 64-bit scalar base and scalar index that is added to the base address. After each element prefetch the index value is incremented, but the index register is not updated.

The <prfop> operand specifies the prefetch hint as follows:

• Access type:
  • PLD for prefetch for load.
  • PST for prefetch for store.
• Target cache level:
  • L1 for Level 1 cache.
  • L2 for Level 2 cache.
  • L3 for Level 3 cache.
• Policy:
  • KEEP for retained or temporal prefetch, allocated in the cache normally.
  • STRM for streaming or non-temporal prefetch, for data that is used only once.
