Description

This instruction allows a programmer to provide a performance hint indicating that the program will soon load from the byte located at the specified data address. This hint may help (but is not guaranteed) to improve data locality.

Use of this instruction has no functional effect on program execution (i.e. program results are the same with or without the instruction call) and is provided as a performance hint only.
