Hi, To be clear, the CommMonitor can help you see what transactions are arriving at the cache, but it will not tell you what data is in the cache (as that depends on the cache configuration, other caches etc). If you are implementing a prefetcher I??d suggest to have a look at one of the existing ones as a starting point.
