摘要： An integrated circuit 2 includes a transaction master 4 connected via interconnect circuitry 10 to a transaction slave 12. The transaction slave 12 generates a transfer-complete signal (R Last or B) to indicate completion of a data transfer (either a read or a write). When this transfer-complete signal has been received by the transaction master 4, then the transaction master 4 generates a complete-acknowledgement signal RACK, WACK, which is passed back to the transaction slave so as to acknowledge receipt of the transfer-complete signal.

摘要： Interconnect circuitry configured to provide routes for interconnecting several initiator devices and at least one recipient device including a memory. At least one of the initiator devices has a cache for storing a local copy of a subset of data items stored in the memory. The interconnect circuitry includes: a plurality of input ports and at least one output port; a plurality of paths for transmitting the transaction requests between the inputs and the at least one output; coherency control circuitry for maintaining an order in which at least some of the transaction requests to a same data storage location proceed through the interconnect circuitry. The interconnect circuitry is configured not to control the writeback transaction requests with the coherency control circuitry, such that the writeback transaction requests proceed independently of transaction requests routed through the coherency control circuitry.

摘要： A data processing apparatus for forming a portion of a coherent cache system comprises at least one master device for performing data processing operations, and a cache coupled to the at least one master device and arranged to store data values for access by that at least one master device when performing the data processing operations. Cache coherency circuitry is responsive to a coherency request from another portion of the coherent cache system to cause a coherency action to be taken in respect of at least one data value stored in the cache. Responsive to an indication that the coherency action has resulted in invalidation of that at least one data value in the cache, refetch control circuitry is used to initiate a refetch of that at least one data value into the cache. Such a mechanism causes the refetch of data into the cache to be triggered by the coherency action performed in response to a coherency request from another portion of the coherent cache system, rather than relying on any actions taken by the at least one master device, thereby providing a very flexible and efficient mechanism for reducing cache latency in a coherent cache system.

摘要： The present invention provides a data processing apparatus and method for managing snoop operations. The data processing apparatus has a plurality of processing units for performing data processing operations requiring access to data in shared memory, with at least two of the processing units having a cache associated therewith for storing a subset of the data for access by that processing unit. A snoop-based cache coherency protocol is employed to ensure data accessed by each processing unit is up-to-date, and when an access request is issued the cache coherency protocol is referenced in order to determine whether a snoop process is required. Snoop control storage is provided which defines a plurality of snoop schemes, each snoop scheme defining a series of snoop phases to be performed to implement the snoop process, and each snoop phase requiring a snoop operation to be performed on either a single cache or multiple caches. When a snoop process is required, a snoop unit is used to reference the snoop control storage in order to identify, having regard to one or more properties of the access request, the snoop scheme to be employed to perform the snoop process. Such an approach provides a great deal of flexibility with regards to how snoop processes are implemented, in particular allowing different snoop schemes to be used dependent on the properties of the access request in question.

The control circuitry includes a response signal generator, the response signal generator is responsive to receipt of the barrier transaction request to issue a response signal.
