    摘要: A technique for performing cache injection includes monitoring, at a host fabric interface, snoop responses to an address on a bus. When the snoop responses indicate a data block associated with the address is in a shared state, input/output data associated with the address on the bus is directed to a cache that includes the data block in the shared state and is located physically closer to the host fabric interface than one or more other caches that include the data block associated with the address in the shared state.

    摘要: Mechanisms for providing a cluster-wide system clock in a multi-tiered full graph (MTFG) interconnect architecture are provided. Heartbeat signals transmitted by each of the processor chips in the computing cluster are synchronized. Internal system clock signals are generated in each of the processor chips based on the synchronized heartbeat signals. As a result, the internal system clock signals of each of the processor chips are synchronized since the heartbeat signals, that are the basis for the internal system clock signals, are synchronized. Mechanisms are provided for performing such synchronization using direct couplings of processor chips within the same processor book, different processor books in the same supernode, and different processor books in different supernodes of the MTFG interconnect architecture.

    摘要: A system and method for performing dynamic request routing based on broadcast source request information are provided. Each processor chip in the system may use a synchronized heartbeat signal it generates to provide source request information to each of the other processor chips in the system. The source request information identifies the number of active source requests sent by the processor chip that originated the heartbeat signal. The source request information from each of the processor chips in the system may be used by the processor chips in determining optimal routing paths for data from a source processor chip to a destination processor chip. As a result, the congestion of data for processing at each of the processor chips along each possible routing path may be taken into account when selecting to which processor chip to forward data.
