摘要:
An information handling system includes a processor integrated circuit including multiple processors with respective processor cache memories. Enhanced cache coherency protocols achieve cache memory integrity in a multi-processor environment. A processor bus controller manages cache coherency bus interfaces to master devices and slave devices. In one embodiment, a master I/O device controller and a slave I/O device controller couple directly to the processor bus controller while system memory couples to the processor bus controller via a memory controller. In one embodiment, the processor bus controller blocks partial responses that it receives from all devices except the slave I/O device from being included in a combined response that the processor bus controller sends over the cache coherency buses.
