    摘要: A data processing system includes a plurality of communication links and a plurality of processing units including a local master processing unit. The local master processing unit includes interconnect logic that couples the processing unit to one or more of the plurality of communication links and an originating master coupled to the interconnect logic. The originating master originates an operation by issuing a write-type request on at least one of the one or more communication links, receives from a snooper in the data processing system a destination tag identifying a route to the snooper, and, responsive to receipt of the combined response and the destination tag, initiates a data transfer including a data payload and a data tag identifying the route provided within the destination tag.

    摘要: A cache coherent data processing system includes at least first and second coherency domains. In a first cache memory within the first coherency domain of the data processing system, a memory block is held in a storage location associated with an address tag and a coherency state field. A determination is made if a home system memory assigned an address associated with the memory block is within the first coherency domain. If not, the coherency state field is set to a coherency state that indicates that the address tag is valid, that the storage location does not contain valid data, the first coherency domain does not contain the home system memory, and that, following formation of the coherency state, the memory block is cached outside of the first coherency domain.

    摘要: In a data processing system, a plurality of agents communicate operations therebetween. Each operation includes a request and a combined response representing a system-wide response to the request. Latencies of requests and combined responses between the plurality of agents are observed. Each of the plurality of agents is configured with a respective duration of a protection window extension by reference to the observed latencies. Each protection window extension is a period following receipt of a combined response during winch an associated one of the plurality of agents protects transfer of coherency ownership of a data granule between agents. The plurality of agents employing protection window extensions in accordance with the configuration, and at least two of the agents have protection window extensions of differing durations.

    摘要: A cache coherent data processing system includes at least first and second coherency domains coupled for communication. The first and second coherency domains 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 from among a first scope including only the first coherency domain and a second scope including both the first and second coherency domains based, at least in part, upon a type of the operation. The master then performs an initial broadcast of the operation within the cache coherent data processing system utilizing the selected scope.

    摘要: A processing unit includes a local processor core and a cache memory coupled to the local processor core. The cache memory includes a data array, a directory of contents of the data array. The cache memory further includes one or more state machines that service a first set of memory access requests, an arbiter that directs servicing of a second set of memory access requests by reference to the data array and the directory on a fixed schedule, address collision logic that protects memory access requests in the second set by detecting and signaling address conflicts between active memory access requests in the second set and subsequent memory access requests, and dispatch logic coupled to the address collision logic. The dispatch logic dispatches memory access requests in the first set to the one or more state machines for servicing and signals the arbiter to direct servicing of memory access requests in the second set according to the fixed schedule.

    摘要: Scrubbing logic in a local coherency domain issues to at least one cache hierarchy in a remote coherency domain a domain reset request that forces invalidation of any cached copy of a target memory block then held in said remote coherency domain. A coherency response to said domain reset request is received. In response to said coherency response indicating that said target memory block is not cached in said remote coherency domain, a domain indication of said local coherency domain is updated to indicate that said target memory block is cached, if at all, only within said local coherency domain.

    摘要: A data processing system includes a plurality of processing units each having a respective point-to-point communication link with each of multiple others of the plurality of processing units but fewer than all of the plurality of processing units. Each of the plurality of processing units includes interconnect logic, coupled to each point-to-point communication link of that processing unit, that broadcasts requests received from one of the multiple others of the plurality of processing units to one or more of the plurality of processing units. The interconnect logic includes a partial response data structure including a plurality of entries each associating a partial response field with a plurality of flags respectively associated with each processing unit containing a snooper from which that processing unit will receive a partial response. The interconnect logic accumulates partial responses of processing units by reference to the partial response field to obtain an accumulated partial response, and when the plurality of flags indicate that all processing units from which partial responses are expected have returned a partial response, outputs the accumulated partial response.
