  ABSTRACT: In this paper, we present a comparative study between informed and predictive prefetching mechanisms that were presented to leverage the performance gap between I/O storage systems and CPU. In particular, we will focus on transparent informed prefetching (TIP) and predictive prefetching using probability graph approach (PG). Our main objective is to show the main features, motivations, and implementation overview of each mechanism. We also conducted a performance evaluation discussion that shows a comparison between both mechanisms performance when using different cache size values.
