+    This opcode has the three attributes:
+    1. The $locality is a temporal locality specifier
+    ranging from (0) - no locality, to (3) - extremely local keep in cache.
+    2. The $isWrite is the specifier determining if the prefetch is prepaired
+    for a 'read' or 'write'.

    $isWrite specifies whether the prefetch is for a 'read' or 'write'.
```
