Abstract:
Entries in a cluster-to-caching agent map table of a data processing network identify one or more caching agents in a caching agent cluster. A snoop filter cache stores coherency information that includes coherency status information and a presence vector, where a bit position in the presence vector is associated with a caching agent cluster in the cluster-to-caching agent map table. In response to a data request, a presence vector in the snoop filter cache is accessed to identify a caching agent cluster and the map table is accessed to identify target caching agents for snoop messages. In order to reduce message traffic, snoop message are sent only to the identified targets.
