Methods, systems, and devices maintain state information in a shadow tag memory for a plurality of cachelines in each of a plurality of private caches, with each of the private caches being associated with a corresponding one of multiple processing cores. One or more cache probes are generated based on a write operation associated with one or more cachelines of the plurality of cachelines, such that each of the cache probes is associated with cachelines of a particular private cache of the multiple private caches, the particular private cache being associated with an indicated processing core. Transmission of the cache probes to the particular private cache is prevented until, responsive to a scope acquire operation from the indicated processing core, the cache probes are released for transmission to the respectively associated cachelines in the particular private cache.
