摘要:
A multi-processor system includes a plurality of processor node control circuits in respective processor nodes, and a cache memory which is an external cache. Each of the processor node control circuits includes a summarized cache tag memory for storing “summarized information” which is information having a reduced number of bits by summarizing information on a cache tag portion in the cache memory and indicating whether each of blocks is effectively indexed in the cache tag portion. For cache coherence control, the summarized cache tag memory is first accessed, so that the cache tag portion is accessed only when it is determined that a target block is effectively indexed, to determine whether the cache coherence control for the node is required.
