A system comprises a plurality of cache agents, a computing entity coupled to the cache agents, and a programmable mask accessible to the computing entity. The programmable mask is indicative of, for at least one memory address, those cache agents that can receive a snoop request associated with a memory address. Based on the mask, the computing entity transmits snoop requests, associated with the memory address, to only those cache agents identified by the mask as cache agents that can receive a snoop request associated with the memory address.
