摘要： The method includes initiating a processor request to a cache in a requesting node and broadcasting the processor request to remote nodes when the processor request encounters a local cache miss, performing a directory search of each remote cache to determine a state of a target line's address and an ownership state of a specified address, returning the state of the target line to the requesting node and forming a combined response, and broadcasting the combined response to each remote node. During a fetch operation, when the directory search indicates an IM or a Target Memory node on a remote node, data is sourced from the respective remote cache and forwarded to the requesting node while protecting the data, and during a store operation, the data is sourced from the requesting node and protected while being forwarded to the IM or the Target Memory node after coherency has been established.

摘要： A method of preventing lockout and stalling conditions in a multi-node system having a plurality of nodes which includes initiating a processor request to a shared level of cache in a requesting node, performing a fabric coherency establishment sequence on the plurality of nodes, issuing a speculative memory fetch request to a memory, detecting a conflict on one of the plurality of nodes and communicating the conflict back to the requesting node within the system, canceling the speculative memory fetch request issued, and repeating the fabric coherency establishment sequence in the system until the point of conflict is resolved, without issuing another speculative memory fetch request. The subsequent memory fetch request is only issued after determining the state of line within the system, after the successful completion of the multi-node fabric coherency establishment sequence.

摘要： Embodiments relate to storing data to a system memory. An aspect includes accessing successive entries of a cache directory having a plurality of directory entries by a stepper engine, where access to the cache directory is given a lower priority than other cache operations. It is determined that a specific directory entry in the cache directory has a change line state that indicates it is modified. A store operation is performed to send a copy of the specific corresponding cache entry to the system memory as part of a cache management function. The specific directory entry is updated to indicate that the change line state is unmodified.

摘要： A method to use of dual valid bit sets including a regular bit set and alternate valid bits set which prevents new requests to a given cache line from entering a multi-nodal computer systems' nest system until all requests to the given cache line have been completed successfully. By providing the alternate valid bits the dual set of resource valids for each remote requester is provided for each remote requester, where one set of valids indicates if the resource is valid and actively working on the line, and the other set of valids indicates if the resource was valid but encountered some conflict that requires resolution before the request can complete. Only on successful reload and completion of the remote operation does this alternate address valid bit reset and open the way for any pending interface requests to proceed, so all outstanding requests currently loaded in a local resource within the nest system are able to complete before new interface requests are allowed into the system.
