摘要： The system and method described herein is a dual system directory structure that performs the role of system cache, i.e., data, and system control, i.e., coherency. The system includes two system cache directories. These two cache directories are equal in size and collectively large enough to contain all of the processor cache directory entries, but with only one of these cache directories hosting system-cache data to back the most recent fraction of data accessed by the processors, and the other cache directory retains only addreses, including addresses of lines LRUed out and the processor using the data. By this expedient, only the directory known to be backed by system cached data will be evaluated for system cache data hits.

摘要： Caching where portions of data are stored in slower main memory and are transferred to faster memory between one or more processors and the main memory. The cache is such that an individual cache system must communicate to other associated cache systems, or check with such cache systems, to determine if they contain a copy of a given cached location prior to or upon modification or appropriation of data at a given cached location. The cache further includes provisions for determining when the data stored in a particular memory location may be replaced.

摘要： A method and apparatus for implementing a combined data/coherency cache for a shared memory multi-processor. The combined data/coherency cache includes a system cache with a number of entries. The method includes building a system cache directory with a number of entries equal to the number of entries of the system cache. The building includes designating a number of sub-entries for each entry which is determined by a number of sub-entries operable for performing system cache coherency functions. The building also includes providing a sub-entry logic designator for each entry, and mapping one of the sub-entries for each entry to the system cache via the sub-entry logic designator.

摘要： A dual system shared cache directory structure for a cache memory performs the role of an inclusive shared system cache, i.e., data, and system control, i.e., coherency. The system includes two separate system cache directories in the shared system cache. The two separate cache directories are substantially equal in size and collectively large enough to contain all of the processor cache directory entries, but with only one of these separate cache directories hosting system-cache data to back the most recent fraction of data accessed by the processors. The other cache directory retains only addresses, including addresses of lines LRUed out from the first cache directory and the identity of the processor using the data. Thus by this expedient, only the directory known to be backed by system cached data will be evaluated for system cache memory data.

摘要： A two pipe pass method for least recently used (LRU) compartment capture in a multiprocessor system. The method includes receiving a fetch request via a requesting processor and accessing a cache directory based on the received fetch request, performing a first pipe pass by determining whether a fetch hit or a fetch miss has occurred in the cache directory, and determining an LRU compartment associated with a specified congruence class of the cache directory based on the fetch request received, when it is determined that a fetch miss has occurred, and performing a second pipe pass by using the LRU compartment determined and the specified congruence class to access the cache directory and to select an LRU address to be cast out of the cache directory.

摘要： A bus protocol is disclosed for a symmetric multiprocessing computer system consisting of a plurality of nodes, each of which contains a multitude of processors, I/O devices, main memory and a system controller comprising an integrated switch with a top level cache. The nodes are interconnected by a dual concentric ring topology. The bus protocol is used to exchange snoop requests and addresses, data, coherency information and operational status between nodes in a manner that allows partial coherency results to be passed in parallel with a snoop request and address as an operation is forwarded along each ring. Each node combines it's own coherency results with the partial coherency results it received prior to forwarding the snoop request, address and updated partial coherency results to the next node on the ring. The protocol allows each node in the system to see the final coherency results without requiring the requesting node to broadcast these results to all the other nodes in the system. The bus protocol also allows data to be returned on one of the two rings, with the ring selection determined by the relative placement of the source and destination nodes on each ring, in order to control latency and data bus utilization.
