摘要： In response to a data request, a victim cache line is selected for castout from a lower level cache, and a target lower level cache of one of the plurality of processing units is selected. A determination is made whether the selected target lower level cache has provided more than a threshold number of retry responses to lateral castout (LCO) commands of the first lower level cache, and if so, a different target lower level cache is selected. The first processing unit thereafter issues a LCO command on the interconnect fabric. The LCO command identifies the victim cache line to be castout and indicates that the target lower level cache is an intended destination of the victim cache line. In response to a successful coherence response to the LCO command, the victim cache line is removed from the first lower level cache and held in the second lower level cache.

摘要： A data processing system includes a processor core having an associated upper level cache and a lower level victim cache. In response to a memory access request of the processor core, the lower level cache victim determines whether the memory access request hits or misses in the directory of the lower level victim cache, and the upper level cache determines whether a castout from the upper level cache is to be performed and selects a victim coherency granule for eviction from the upper level cache. In response to determining that a castout from the upper level cache is to be performed, the upper level cache evicts the selected victim coherency granule. In the eviction, the upper level cache reads out the victim coherency granule from the data array of the upper level cache only in response to an indication that the memory access request misses in the directory of the lower level victim cache.

摘要： In response to a data request of a first of a plurality of processing units, the first processing unit selects a victim cache line to be castout from the lower level cache of the first processing unit and determines whether a mode is set. If not, the first processing unit issues on the interconnect fabric an LCO command identifying the victim cache line and indicating that a lower level cache is the intended destination. If the mode is set, the first processing unit issues a castout command with an alternative intended destination. In response to a coherence response to the LCO command indicating success of the LCO command, the first processing unit removes the victim cache line from its lower level cache, and the victim cache line is held elsewhere in the data processing system. The mode can be set to inhibit castouts to system memory, for example, for testing.

摘要： Fine-grained detection of data modification of original data is provided by associating separate guard bits with granules of memory storing original data from which translated data has been obtained. The guard bits indicating whether the original data stored in the associated granule is protected for data coherency. The guard bits are set and cleared by special-purpose instructions. Responsive to attempting access to translated data obtained from the original data, the guard bit(s) associated with the original data is checked to determine whether the guard bit(s) fail to indicate coherency of the original data, and if so, discarding of the translated data is initiated to facilitate maintaining data coherency between the original data and the translated data.

摘要： A data processing system includes a plurality of processing units coupled by an interconnect fabric. In response to a data request, a victim cache line is selected for castout from a first lower level cache of a first processing unit, and a target lower level cache of one of the plurality of processing units is selected based upon architectural proximity of the target lower level cache to a home system memory to which the address of the victim cache line is assigned. The first processing unit issues on the interconnect fabric a lateral castout (LCO) command that identifies the victim cache line to be castout from the first lower level cache and indicates that the target lower level cache is an intended destination. In response to a coherence response indicating success of the LCO command, the victim cache line is removed from the first lower level cache and held in the second lower level cache.

摘要： A store request in enqueued in a store queue of a cache memory of the data processing system. The store request identifies a target memory block by a target address and specifies store data. While the store request and a barrier request older than the store request are enqueued in the store queue, a read-claim machine of the cache memory is dispatched to acquire coherence ownership of target memory block of the store request. After coherence ownership of the target memory block is acquired and the barrier request has been retired from the store queue, a cache array of the cache memory is updated with the store data.

摘要： A data processing system includes at least a first through third processing nodes coupled by an interconnect fabric. The first processing node includes a master, a plurality of snoopers capable of participating in interconnect operations, and a node interface that receives a request of the master and transmits the request of the master to the second processing unit with a nodal scope of transmission limited to the second processing node. The second processing node includes a node interface having a directory. The node interface of the second processing node permits the request to proceed with the nodal scope of transmission if the directory does not indicate that a target memory block of the request is cached other than in the second processing node and prevents the request from succeeding if the directory indicates that the target memory block of the request is cached other than in the second processing node.
