摘要： A system and method for specifying an access hint for prefetching limited use data. A processing unit receives a data cache block touch (DCBT) instruction having an access hint indicating to the processing unit that a program executing on the data processing system may soon access a cache block addressed within the DCBT instruction. The access hint is contained in a code point stored in a subfield of the DCBT instruction. In response to detecting that the code point is set to a specific value, the data addressed in the DCBT instruction is prefetched into an entry in the lower level cache. The entry may then be updated as a least recently used entry of a plurality of entries in the lower level cache. In response to a new cache block being fetched to the cache, the prefetched cache block is cast out of the cache.

摘要： A memory lock mechanism within a multi-processor system is disclosed. A lock control section is initially assigned to a data block within a system memory of the multiprocessor system. In response to a request for accessing the data block by a processing unit within the multiprocessor system, a determination is made by a memory controller whether or not the lock control section of the data block has been set. If the lock control section of the data block has been set, the request for accessing the data block is denied. Otherwise, if the lock control section of the data block has not been set, the lock control section of the data block is set, and the request for accessing the data block is allowed.

摘要： A multiprocessor data processing system includes at least first and second coherency domains, where the first coherency domain includes a system memory and a cache memory. According to a method of data processing, a cache line is buffered in a data array of the cache memory and a state field in a cache directory of the cache memory is set to a coherency state to indicate that the cache line is valid in the data array, that the cache line is held in the cache memory non-exclusively, and that another cache in said second coherency domain may hold a copy of the cache line.

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： A processing unit includes a processor core and a cache memory coupled to the processor core. The cache memory includes a data array, a directory of the data array, error detection logic that sequentially detects a first, second and third correctable errors in the data array of the cache memory and provides indications of detection of the first, second and third correctable errors, and control circuitry that, responsive to the indication of the third correctable error and an indication that the first and second correctable errors occurred at too high a frequency, marks an entry of the data array containing a cache line having the third correctable error as deleted in the directory of the cache memory regardless of which entry of the data array contains a cache line having the second correctable error.

摘要： A processing unit for a multiprocessor data processing system includes a processor core and a cache hierarchy coupled to the processor core to provide low latency data access. The cache hierarchy includes an upper level cache coupled to the processor core and a lower level victim cache coupled to the upper level cache. In response to a prefetch request of the processor core that misses in the upper level cache, the lower level victim cache determines whether the prefetch request misses in the directory of the lower level victim cache and, if so, allocates a state machine in the lower level victim cache that services the prefetch request by issuing the prefetch request to at least one other processing unit of the multiprocessor data processing system.

摘要： A method of handling a stuck bit in a directory of a cache memory, by defining multiple binary encodings to indicate a defective cache state, detecting an error in a tag stored in a member of the directory (wherein the tag at least includes an address field, a state field and an error-correction field), determining that the error is associated with a stuck bit of the directory member, and writing new state information to the directory member which is selected from one of the binary encodings based on a field location of the stuck bit within the directory member. The multiple binary encodings may include a first binary encoding when the stuck bit is in the address field, a second binary encoding when the stuck bit is in the state field, and a third binary encoding when the stuck bit is in the error-correction field. The new state information may also further be selected based on the value of the stuck bit, e.g., a state bit corresponding to the stuck bit is assigned a bit value from the new state information which matches the value of the stuck bit.

摘要： A data processing system includes a plurality of requestors and a memory controller for a system memory. In response to receiving from the requestor a read-type request targeting a memory block in the system memory, the memory controller protects the memory block from modification, and in response to an indication that the memory controller is responsible for servicing the read-type request, the memory controller transmits the memory block to the requestor. Prior to receipt of the memory block by the requestor, the memory controller ends protection of the memory block from modification, and the requestor begins protection of the memory block from modification. In response to receipt of the memory block, the requestor ends its protection of the memory block from modification.

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.
