DCA Prefetch
Delay

A DCA Prefetch is used with TOE
components to prefetch data in order to
shorten execution cycles and maximize
data processing effi ciency. A TOE device
is a specialized, dedicated processor that
is installed on an add-on card or a
network card to handle some or all
packet processing of this add-on card.
Prefetching too frequently can saturate
the cache directory and delay necessary
cache accesses. This feature reduces or
increases the frequency the system
prefetches data.
