    摘要: A cache coherent data processing system includes a memory and at least first and second coherency domains that each include a respective one of first and second cache memories. A master in the first coherency domain selects a scope of an initial broadcast of an operation targeting a request address allocated to the memory from among a first scope including only the first coherency domain and a second scope including both the first and second coherency domains. The master selects the scope based, at least in part, upon whether the memory belongs to the first coherency domain and performs an initial broadcast of the operation within the cache coherent data processing system utilizing the selected scope.

    摘要: A cache, system and method for reducing the number of rejected snoop requests. A “stall/reorder unit” in a cache receives a snoop request from an interconnect. Information, such as the address, of the snoop request is stored in a queue of the stall/reorder unit. The stall/reorder unit forwards the snoop request to a selector which also receives a request from a processor. An arbitration mechanism selects either the snoop request or the request from the processor. If the snoop request is denied by the arbitration mechanism, information, e.g., address, about the snoop request may be maintained in the stall/reorder unit. The request may be later resent to the selector. This process may be repeated up to “n” clock cycles. By providing the snoop request additional opportunities (n clock cycles) to be accepted by the arbitration mechanism, fewer snoop requests may ultimately be denied.

    摘要: A data processing system includes a plurality of processing units, including at least a local master and a local hub, which are coupled for communication via a communication link. The local master includes a master capable of initiating an operation, a snooper capable of receiving an operation, and interconnect logic coupled to a communication link coupling the local master to the local hub. The interconnect logic includes request logic that synchronizes internal transmission of a request of the master to the snooper with transmission, via the communication link, of the request to the local hub.

    摘要: A data processing system includes a plurality of processing units coupled by a plurality of communication links for point-to-point communication such that at least some of the communication between multiple different ones of the processing units is transmitted via intermediate processing units among the plurality of processing units. The communication includes operations having a request and a combined response representing a system response to the request. At least each intermediate processing unit includes one or more masters that initiate first operations, a snooper that receives at least second operations initiated by at least one other of the plurality of processing units, a physical queue that stores master tags of first operations initiated by the one or more masters within that processing unit, and a ticketing mechanism that assigns to second operations observed at the intermediate processing unit a ticket number indicating an order of observation with respect to other second operations observed by the intermediate processing unit. The ticketing mechanism provides the ticket number assigned to an operation to the snooper for processing with a combined response of the operation.

    摘要: A cache coherent data processing system includes at least first and second coherency domains each including at least one processing unit. The first coherency domain includes a first cache memory and a second cache memory, and the second coherency domain includes a remote coherent cache memory. The first cache memory includes a cache controller, a data array including a data storage location for caching a memory block, and a cache directory. The cache directory includes a tag field for storing an address tag in association with the memory block and a coherency state field associated with the tag field and the data storage location. The coherency state field has a plurality of possible states including a state that indicates that the memory block is possibly shared with the second cache memory in the first coherency domain and cached only within the first coherency domain.
