// This header file defines prefetch functions to prefetch memory contents
// into the first level cache (L1) for the current CPU. The prefetch logic
// offered in this header is limited to prefetching first level cachelines
// only, and is aimed at relatively 'simple' prefetching logic.

// Moves data into the L1 cache before it is read, or "prefetches" it.
//
// The value of `addr` is the address of the memory to prefetch. If
// the target and compiler support it, data prefetch instructions are
// generated. If the prefetch is done some time before the memory is
// read, it may be in the cache by the time the read occurs.
//
// This method prefetches data with the highest degree of temporal locality;
// data is prefetched where possible into all levels of the cache.
//
// Incorrect or gratuitous use of this function can degrade performance.
// Use this function only when representative benchmarks show an improvement.
//
// Example:
//
//  // Computes incremental checksum for `data`.
//  int ComputeChecksum(int sum, absl::string_view data);
//
//  // Computes cumulative checksum for all values in `data`
//  int ComputeChecksum(absl::Span<const std::string> data) {
//    int sum = 0;
//    auto it = data.begin();
//    auto pit = data.begin();
//    auto end = data.end();

// Moves data into the L1 cache before it is read, or "prefetches" it.
//
// This function is identical to `PrefetchToLocalCache()` except that it has
// non-temporal locality: the fetched data should not be left in any of the
// cache tiers. This is useful for cases where the data is used only once /
// short term, for example, invoking a destructor on an object.
//
// Incorrect or gratuitous use of this function can degrade performance.
// Use this function only when representative benchmarks show an improvement.
//
// Example:
//
//  template <typename Iterator>
//  void DestroyPointers(Iterator begin, Iterator end) {
//    size_t distance = std::min(8U, bars.size());
//
//    int dist = 8;
//    auto prefetch_it = begin;
//    while (prefetch_it != end && --dist;) {
//      absl::PrefetchToLocalCacheNta(*prefetch_it++);
//    }
//    while (prefetch_it != end) {
//      delete *begin++;
//      absl::PrefetchToLocalCacheNta(*prefetch_it++);
//    }
//    while (begin != end) {
//      delete *begin++;
//    }
//  }
//
void PrefetchToLocalCacheNta(const void* addr);

// Moves data into the L1 cache with the intent to modify it.
//
// This function is similar to `PrefetchToLocalCache()` except that it
// prefetches cachelines with an 'intent to modify' This typically includes
// invalidating cache entries for this address in all other cache tiers, and an
// exclusive access intent.
//
// Incorrect or gratuitous use of this function can degrade performance. As this
// function can invalidate cached cachelines on other caches and computer cores,
// incorrect usage of this function can have an even greater negative impact
// than incorrect regular prefetches.
// Use this function only when representative benchmarks show an improvement.
//
// Example:
//
//  void* Arena::Allocate(size_t size) {
//    void* ptr = AllocateBlock(size);
//    absl::PrefetchToLocalCacheForWrite(ptr);
//    return ptr;
//  }
