Zusammenfassung:Processing of prefetched data based on cache residency. Data to be used in future processing is prefetched. A block of data being prefetched is selected for processing, and a check is made as to whether the block of data is resident in a selected cache (e.g., L1 cache). If the block of data is resident in the selected cache, it is processed; otherwise, processing is bypassed until a later time when it is resident in the selected cache.
