摘要： An interface unit may comprise a buffer configured to store requests that are to be transmitted on an interconnect and a control unit coupled to the buffer. In one embodiment, the control unit is coupled to receive a retry response from the interconnect during a response phase of a first transaction for a first request stored in the buffer. The control unit is configured to record an identifier supplied on the interconnect with the retry response that identifies a second transaction that is in progress on the interconnect. The control unit is configured to inhibit reinitiation of the first transaction at least until detecting a second transmission of the identifier. In another embodiment, the control unit is configured to assert a retry response during a response phase of a first transaction responsive to a snoop hit of the first transaction on a first request stored in the buffer for which a second transaction is in progress on the interconnect. The control unit is further configured to provide an identifier of the second transaction with the retry response.

摘要： In one embodiment, a switch is configured to be coupled to an interconnect. The switch comprises a plurality of storage locations and an arbiter control circuit coupled to the plurality of storage locations. The plurality of storage locations are configured to store a plurality of requests transmitted by a plurality of agents. The arbiter control circuit is configured to arbitrate among the plurality of requests stored in the plurality of storage locations. A selected request is the winner of the arbitration, and the switch is configured to transmit the selected request from one of the plurality of storage locations onto the interconnect. In another embodiment, a system comprises a plurality of agents, an interconnect, and the switch coupled to the plurality of agents and the interconnect. In another embodiment, a method is contemplated.

摘要： In one embodiment, an interface unit comprises an address buffer and a control unit coupled to the address buffer. The address buffer is configured to store addresses of processor core requests generated by a processor core and addresses of snoop requests received from an interconnect. The control unit is configured to maintain a plurality of queues, wherein at least a first queue of the plurality of queues is dedicated to snoop requests and at least a second queue of the plurality of queues is dedicated to processor core requests. Responsive to a first snoop request received by the interface unit from the interconnect, the control unit is configured to allocate a first address buffer entry of the address buffer to store the first snoop request and to store a first pointer to the first address buffer entry in the first queue. Responsive to a first processor core request received by the interface unit from the processor core, the control unit is configured to allocate a second address buffer entry of the address buffer to store the first processor core request and to store a second pointer to the second address buffer entry in the second queue.
