Workload scheduler for memory allocation

An apparatus comprising:

• an interface;
• circuitry coupled to the interface, the circuitry comprising a processor, the circuitry configured to:
• cause pre-fetch of packet data associated with a workload, wherein the packet data comprises one ore more of a packet payload or a packet connection context;
• cause pre-fetch of content associated with the workload, wherein the content comprises one or more of a software environment to process the packet data, cryptographic keys used to process the packet data, or instructions executed to process the packet data;
• and
• store the packet data and the content in a cache accessible to the processor.

A method comprising:

• assigning, using circuitry, a workload to a processor;
• causing, by the circuitry, pre-fetch of packet data associated with the workload, wherein the packet data comprises one ore more of a packet payload or a packet connection context;
• causing, by the circuitry, pre-fetch of content associated with the workload, wherein the content comprises one or more of a software environment to process the packet data, cryptographic keys used to process the packet data, or instructions executed to process the packet data;
• and
• storing the packet data and the content in a cache accessible to the processor.
