    摘要: A design structure for a processor system may be embodied in a machine readable medium for designing, manufacturing or testing a processor integrated circuit. The design structure may embody a processor integrated circuit including multiple processors with respective processor cache memories. The design structure may specify enhanced cache coherency protocols to achieve cache memory integrity in a multi-processor environment. The design structure may describe a processor bus controller manages cache coherency bus interfaces to master devices and slave devices. The design structure may also describe a master I/O device controller and a slave I/O device controller that couple directly to the processor bus controller while system memory couples to the processor bus controller via a memory controller. In one embodiment, the design structure may specify that the processor bus controller blocks partial responses that it receives from all devices except the slave I/O device from being included in a combined response that the processor bus controller sends over the cache coherency buses.

    摘要: Computer implemented method, system and computer usable program code for processing a data request in a data processing system. A read command requesting data is received from a requesting master device. It is determined whether a cache of a processor can provide the requested data. Responsive to a determination that a cache of a processor can provide the requested data, the requested data is routed to the requesting master device on an intervention data bus of the processor separate from a read data bus and a write data bus of the processor.

    摘要: An electronic system is disclosed, including multiple initiators and one or more targets coupled to a bus, and a request mask control unit (RMCU). The initiators are configured to initiate requests (e.g., read requests and write requests) via the bus, and the targets are configured to receive requests from the initiators via the bus. The targets are also configured to produce multiple MaskEnable signals, wherein each of the MaskEnable signals is generated following an initial request received via the bus, and dependent on a corresponding “masking situation” within the target. The RMCU receives the MaskEnable signals and produces multiple RequestMask signals dependent upon the MaskEnable signals. One or more of the initiators are permitted to repeat requests via the bus dependent upon one or more of the RequestMask signals. This mechanism provides additional bus bandwidth for carrying out successful data transfers.

    摘要: A method of designing a system on a chip (SoC) to operate with varying latencies and frequencies. A layout of the chip is designed with specific placement of devices, including a bus controller, initiator, and target devices. The time for a signal to propagate from a source device to a destination device is determined relative to a default propagation time. A pipeline stage is then inserted into a bus path between said source device and destination device for each additional time the signal takes to propagate. Each device (i.e., initiators, targets, and bus controller) is designed with logic to control a protocol that functions with a variety of response latencies. With the additional logic, the devices do not need to be changed when pipeline stages are inserted in the various paths. Registers are utilized as the pipeline stages that are inserted within the paths.

    摘要: A method and system for reducing power in a snooping cache based environment. A memory may be coupled to a plurality of processing units via a bus. Each processing unit may comprise a cache controller coupled to a cache associated with the processing unit. The cache controller may comprise a segment register comprising N bits where each bit in the segment register may be associated with a segment of memory divided into N segments. The cache controller may be configured to snoop a requested address on the bus. Upon determining which bit in the segment register is associated with the snooped requested address, the segment register may determine if the bit associated with the snooped requested address is set. If the bit is not set, then a cache search may not be performed thereby mitigating the power consumption associated with a snooped request cache search.
