Re: <Are you implying that the compiler will have an architectural memory simulator built into it? That sounds pretty interesting....> No, I wasn't think of anything fancy. I only meant that there still might be some cases where the human is smarter than the compiler and so would want to schedule prefetches and line fetches himself by placing statements in the c program. However, it may be true that modern compilers can do it all and do it better than the human.
