    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 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: Insures data integrity in process ownership indications by providing an ownership interlock on the data units in a pipeline to a store-in type of cache. An ownership interlock prevents any processor ownership change to occur (i.e. exclusive or readonly ownership) for a cache data unit until all outstanding stores have been made in the cache data unit, after which the ownership may be changed. An ownership change may be signalled by a cross-invalidate (XI) signal to a processor. Outstanding stores are received by the pipeline after the stores are completed by a processor, and the outstanding stores output from the pipeline into a store-in cache. A continuous flow of stores is enabled into and out of the pipeline to expedite a change of ownership requested of a data unit in the cache. The continuous flow avoids having to stop a processor from putting stores into the pipeline and avoids forcing all outstanding stores out of the pipeline into the cache before indicating a change of processor ownership.

    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: 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 data processing system includes a plurality of local hubs each coupled to a remote hub by a respective one a plurality of point-to-point communication links. Each of the plurality of local hubs queues requests for access to memory blocks for transmission on a respective one of the point-to-point communication links to a shared resource in the remote hub. Each of the plurality of local hubs transmits requests to the remote hub utilizing only a fractional portion of a bandwidth of its respective point-to-point communication link. The fractional portion that is utilized is determined by an allocation policy based at least in part upon a number of the plurality of local hubs and a number of processing units represented by each of the plurality of local hubs. The allocation policy prevents overruns of the shared resource.
