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： According to a method of data processing, a predictor is maintained that indicates a historical scope of broadcast for one or more previous operations transmitted on an interconnect of a data processing system. A scope of broadcast of a subsequent operation is predictively selected by reference to the predictor.

摘要： A cache coherent data processing system includes a memory and at least first and second coherency domains that 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 targeting a request address allocated to the memory from among a first scope including only the first coherency domain and a second scope including both the first and second coherency domains. The master selects the scope based, at least in part, upon whether the memory belongs to the first coherency domain and performs an initial broadcast of the operation within the cache coherent data processing system utilizing the selected scope.

摘要： A data processing system includes a plurality of processing units, including at least a local master and a local hub, which are coupled for communication via a communication link. The local master includes a master capable of initiating an operation, a snooper capable of receiving an operation, and interconnect logic coupled to a communication link coupling the local master to the local hub. The interconnect logic includes request logic that synchronizes internal transmission of a request of the master to the snooper with transmission, via the communication link, of the request to the local hub.

摘要： A cache coherent data processing system includes at least first and second coherency domains. In a first cache memory within the first coherency domain of the data processing system, a coherency state field associated with a storage location and an address tag is set to a first data-invalid coherency state that indicates that the address tag is valid and that the storage location does not contain valid data. In response to snooping an exclusive access operation, the exclusive access request specifying a target address matching the address tag and indicating a relative domain location of a requester that initiated the exclusive access operation, the first cache memory updates the coherency state field from the first data-invalid coherency state to a second data-invalid coherency state that indicates that the address tag is valid, that the storage location does not contain valid data, and whether a target memory block associated with the address tag is cached within the first coherency domain upon successful completion of the exclusive access operation based upon the relative location of the requestor.

摘要： A cache coherent data processing system includes at least first and second coherency domains. In a first cache memory within the first coherency domain of the data processing system, a memory block is held in a storage location associated with an address tag and a coherency state field. A determination is made if a home system memory assigned an address associated with the memory block is within the first coherency domain. If not, the coherency state field is set to a coherency state that indicates that the address tag is valid, that the storage location does not contain valid data, the first coherency domain does not contain the home system memory, and that, following formation of the coherency state, the memory block is cached outside of the first coherency domain.

摘要： In an entry of a first cache memory within a first coherency domain of a data processing system including at least first and second coherency domains, a coherency state field is set to a first state that indicates that an associated address tag is valid, an associated storage location does not contain valid data, and a memory block identified by the address tag is likely cached outside the first coherency domain. In response to snooping a castout operation, the first cache memory determines if the castout operation hits in the entry and, if so, updates the coherency state field from the first state to a second state indicating that the associated address tag is invalid.
