Abstract: Methods and apparatus relating to ring protocols and techniques are described. In one embodiment, a first agent generates a request to write to a cache line of a cache over a first ring of a computing platform. A second agent that receives the write request forwards it to a third agent over the first ring of the computing platform. In turn, a third agent (e.g., a home agent) receives data corresponding to the write request over a second, different ring of the computing platform and writes the data to the cache. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

Abstract translation: 描述与环协议和技术有关的方法和装置。 在一个实施例中，第一代理生成在计算平台的第一环上写入高速缓存行的请求。 接收写入请求的第二代理将其转发到计算平台的第一环上的第三代理程序。 反过来，第三代理（例如归属代理）通过计算平台的第二个不同的环接收与写请求对应的数据，并将数据写入高速缓存。 还公开了其他实施例。
