    Abstract: An example of a system using two-stage, the cache tag is stored in a primary and a secondary tag memories. When requesting data, the system searches the cache to retrieve the data, an operation that involves cache tag lookup. Cache tag lookup is performed by cache management. The cache management receives a cache tag for reading data from the cache memory. The cache management selects a hash function from a group of hash functions and computes a primary lookup tag using the selected hash function and the cache tag. The cache management compares the primary lookup tag to the contents of the primary tag memory to determine if there is a hit. If there is no hit, the cache management selects another hash function and repeats the search in the primary tag memory.

    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to circuitry to selectively disable cache snoop operations issued by a particular processor or its cache manager based on data in a memory address range, to be accessed by the particular processor, having been flushed from one or more other cache devices accessible to other processors. At or after completion of flushing or scrubbing data in the memory address range to memory, the particular processor or its cache manager do not issue snoop operations for accesses to the memory address range. In response to an access by some other device to the memory address range, the processor or cache manager may resume issuing snoop operations.
