    摘要: A cache, system and method for reducing the number of rejected snoop requests. An incoming snoop request is entered in the first available latch in a pipeline of latches in a stall/reorder unit if the stall/reorder unit is not full. The entered snoop request is dispatched to a selector upon entering a bottom latch in the pipeline. The stall/reorder unit is not informed as to whether the dispatched snoop request is accepted by an arbitration mechanism for several clock cycles after the dispatch occurred. A copy of the dispatched snoop request is stored in a top latch in an overrun pipeline of latches in the first unit upon dispatching the snoop request. By maintaining information about the snoop request, the snoop request may be dispatched again to the selector in case the dispatched snoop request was rejected thereby increasing the chance that the snoop request will ultimately be accepted.

    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: A data processing system includes a multi-level cache hierarchy including a lowest level cache, a processor core coupled to the multi-level cache hierarchy, and a memory controller coupled to the lowest level cache and to a memory bus of a system memory. The memory controller includes a physical read queue that buffers data read from the system memory via the memory bus and a physical write queue that buffers data to be written to the system memory via the memory bus. The memory controller grants priority to write operations over read operations on the memory bus based upon a number of dirty cachelines in the lowest level cache memory.

    摘要: A method of processing store requests in a data processing system includes enqueuing a store request 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: Analyzing pre-processed code includes identifying at least one storage-modifying construct specifying a storage-modifying memory access to a memory hierarchy of a data processing system and determining if more than one granule of a cache line of data containing multiple granules that is targeted by the storage-modifying construct is subsequently referenced by said pre-processed code. Post-processed code including a storage-modifying instruction corresponding to the at least one storage-modifying construct in the pre-processed code is generated and stored. Generating the post-processed code includes marking the storage-modifying instruction with a partial cache line hint indicating that said storage-modifying instruction targets less than a full cache line of data within a memory hierarchy if the analyzing indicates only one granule of the target cache line will be accessed while the cache line is held in the cache memory and otherwise refraining from marking the storage-modifying instruction with the partial cache line hint.

    摘要: A cache coherent data processing system includes at least first and second coherency domains coupled for communication. The first and second coherency domains each include a respective one of first and second cache memories. A master in the first coherency domain selects a scope of an initial broadcast of an operation from among a first scope including only the first coherency domain and a second scope including both the first and second coherency domains based, at least in part, upon a type of the operation. The master then performs an initial broadcast of the operation within the cache coherent data processing system utilizing the selected scope.

    摘要: A cache coherent data processing system includes at least a first cache memory supporting a first processing unit and a second cache memory supporting a second processing unit. The first cache memory includes a cache array and a cache directory of contents of the cache array. In response to the first cache memory detecting on an interconnect a broadcast operation that specifies a request address, the first cache memory determines from the operation a type of the operation and a coherency state associated with the request address. In response to determining the type and the coherency state, the first cache memory filters out the broadcast operation without accessing the cache directory.
