Pre-fetching data based on memory usage patterns

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a processing device, a set of sequential memory access requests, each memory access request identifying a memory block by a memory block identifier;
• identifying a sequence counter in dependence upon a predictive model and the memory block identifiers of the set of sequential memory access requests;
• and
• performing an action;
• wherein
• the predictive model comprises a memory access tracking data structure comprising a multi-dimensional array storing a plurality of sequence counters where a number of dimensions of the multi-dimensional array is established by the number of memory access requests within the set of sequential memory access requests, each sequence counter corresponding to a memory access sequence identified by an index vector, where the elements of the index vector are established by applying a pre-defined transformation to each memory block identifier of each memory block accessed by a memory access request within the set of sequential memory access requests;
• and
• the number of sequential memory access requests within the set of sequential memory access requests is equal to or greater than 2.
