摘要： In a data processing system, a plurality of agents communicate operations therebetween. Each operation includes a request and a combined response representing a system-wide response to the request. Latencies of requests and combined responses between the plurality of agents are observed. Each of the plurality of agents is configured with a respective duration of a protection window extension by reference to the observed latencies. Each protection window extension is a period following receipt of a combined response during winch an associated one of the plurality of agents protects transfer of coherency ownership of a data granule between agents. The plurality of agents employing protection window extensions in accordance with the configuration, and at least two of the agents have protection window extensions of differing durations.

摘要： In response to a memory access request of a processor core that targets a target cache line, the lower level cache of a vertical cache hierarchy associated with the processor core supplies a copy of the target cache line to an upper level cache in the vertical cache hierarchy and retains a copy in a shared coherence state. The upper level cache holds the copy of the target cache line in a private shared ownership coherence state indicating that each cached copy of the target memory block is cached within the vertical cache hierarchy associated with the processor core. In response to the upper level cache signaling replacement of the copy of the target cache line in the private shared ownership coherence state, the lower level cache updates its copy of the target cache line to the exclusive ownership coherence state without coherency messaging with other vertical cache hierarchies.

摘要： A first SMP computer has first and second processing units and a first system memory pool, a second SMP computer has third and fourth processing units and a second system memory pool, and a third SMP computer has at least fifth and sixth processing units and third, fourth and fifth system memory pools. The fourth system memory pool is inaccessible to the third, fourth and sixth processing units and accessible to at least the second and fifth processing units, and the fifth system memory pool is inaccessible to the first, second and sixth processing units and accessible to at least the fourth and fifth processing units. A first interconnect couples the second processing unit for load-store coherent, ordered access to the fourth system memory pool, and a second interconnect couples the fourth processing unit for load-store coherent, ordered access to the fifth system memory pool.

摘要： A processing unit for a data processing system includes a processor core having one or more execution units for processing instructions and a register file for storing data accessed in processing of the instructions. The processing unit also includes a multi-level cache hierarchy coupled to and supporting the processor core. The multi-level cache hierarchy includes at least one upper level of cache memory having a lower access latency and at least one lower level of cache memory having a higher access latency. The lower level of cache memory, responsive to receipt of a memory access request that hits only a partial cache line in the lower level cache memory, sources the partial cache line to the at least one upper level cache memory to service the memory access request. The at least one upper level cache memory services the memory access request without caching the partial cache line.

摘要： A cache, system and method for reducing the number of rejected snoop requests. A “stall/reorder unit” in a cache receives a snoop request from an interconnect. Information, such as the address, of the snoop request is stored in a queue of the stall/reorder unit. The stall/reorder unit forwards the snoop request to a selector which also receives a request from a processor. An arbitration mechanism selects either the snoop request or the request from the processor. If the snoop request is denied by the arbitration mechanism, information, e.g., address, about the snoop request may be maintained in the stall/reorder unit. The request may be later resent to the selector. This process may be repeated up to “n” clock cycles. By providing the snoop request additional opportunities (n clock cycles) to be accepted by the arbitration mechanism, fewer snoop requests may ultimately be denied.

摘要： Scrubbing logic in a local coherency domain issues a domain query request to at least one cache hierarchy in a remote coherency domain. The domain query request is a non-destructive probe of a coherency state associated with a target memory block by the at least one cache hierarchy. A coherency response to the domain query request is received. In response to the coherency response indicating that the target memory block is not cached in the remote coherency domain, a domain indication in the local coherency domain is updated to indicate that the target memory block is cached, if at all, only within the local coherency domain.

摘要： A processing unit includes a local processor core and a cache memory coupled to the local processor core. The cache memory includes a data array, a directory of contents of the data array. The cache memory further includes one or more state machines that service a first set of memory access requests, an arbiter that directs servicing of a second set of memory access requests by reference to the data array and the directory on a fixed schedule, address collision logic that protects memory access requests in the second set by detecting and signaling address conflicts between active memory access requests in the second set and subsequent memory access requests, and dispatch logic coupled to the address collision logic. The dispatch logic dispatches memory access requests in the first set to the one or more state machines for servicing and signals the arbiter to direct servicing of memory access requests in the second set according to the fixed schedule.

摘要： A data processing system includes first and second processing units and a system memory. The first processing unit has first upper and first lower level caches, and the second processing unit has second upper and lower level caches. In response to a data request, a victim cache line to be castout from the first lower level cache is selected, and the first lower level cache selects between performing a lateral castout (LCO) of the victim cache line to the second lower level cache and a castout of the victim cache line to the system memory based upon a confidence indicator associated with the victim cache line. In response to selecting an LCO, the first processing unit issues an LCO command on the interconnect fabric and removes the victim cache line from the first lower level cache, and the second lower level cache holds the victim cache line.
