    摘要: A system and method for progressively identifying and configuring the nodes of a network having an unknown or partially unknown topology are presented. A special all-node address indicator is designated for insertion in a packet to be sent from a given node with known node address to a next adjacent node with unknown node address. Each node contains a port control register for each port of the node which when set instructs the node to insert the all-node address indicator into a packet to be forwarded to a next adjacent node in the network with unknown node address. The port control registers are remotely selectively set by one or more managing nodes of the network. Race condition is avoided by provision of a set count register associated with an address node register and managing node address register within each node of the network. A node can be configured only if the previously read set count value remains unchanged between reading of and writing to the address node register or managing node address register. Provision for identifying additions, deletions and other changes to the network automatically is also provided.

    摘要: A method of maintaining cache coherency in a computer system including two or more processors sharing information, the processors coupled by two or more interconnects to a memory such that the processors are not directly coupled to the same is disclosed interconnect is disclosed. The method of maintaining cache coherency includes the steps of: accessing and sharing, by a first processor and a second processor, information from the memory and setting path indicators in directories associated with at least two of the interconnects on a respective first and second access path to the memory, and storing the information in respective associated first and second caches; and writing a new value to the information, by a writing processor sharing the information, the writing step including the steps of: invalidating other copies of the information via the path indicators; acquiring exclusive access to the information by changing the path indicators to an exclusive state; and writing the new value to the information, in response to the acquiring step.
