    摘要: A method performed by a processor is described. The method includes executing an instruction. The instruction has an address as an operand. The executing of the instruction includes sending a signal to cache coherence protocol logic of the processor. In response to the signal, the cache coherence protocol logic issues a request for ownership of a cache line at the address. The cache line is not in a cache of the processor. The request for ownership also indicates that the cache line is not to be sent to the processor.

    摘要: An initialization core may include reset logic that may detect a global reset signal (GRS). The initialization core may generate one or more packets that enable communication with the cores. The initialization core may send reset packets to each of the cores that instruct the cores to perform a reset. In some embodiments, the reset command may power-off the cores. The initialization core may then transmit unreset packets to each of the cores that instruct the cores to perform an unreset and power-on the cores. In some embodiments, the cores may resume operation automatically without receipt of the unreset packet. The transmission of the packets may be staggered (staged) to control the power-on of the processor and enable the processor unit to more slowly increase its power state.

    摘要: A system may comprise one or more source agents, target agents, and a plurality of directory agents, which may determine the target agent to which one or more transactions generated by the source agents is to be sent. A controller may identify one of a plurality of directory agents to process the transactions. The directory agent may determine the control and status registers of the target agents to which the transaction is to be sent. The target agent may complete the transaction after receiving the transaction from the directory agent. The directory agents may store a memory map to resolve the target agent to which the transactions is to be sent. The directory based distributed CSR access may provide scalability to ever increasing number of heterogeneous agents in the system.
