Abstract:
Techniques and apparatus to manage cache coherency for different types of cache memory are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus may include at least one processor, at least one cache memory, and logic, at least a portion comprised in hardware, the logic to receive a memory operation request associated with the at least one cache memory, determine a cache status of the memory operation request, the cache status indicating one of a giant cache status or a small cache status, perform the memory operation request via a small cache coherence process responsive to the cache status being a small cache status, and perform the memory operation request via a giant cache coherence process responsive to the cache status being a small cache status. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
