Abstract: According to the present invention, methods and apparatus are provided for increasing the efficiency of data access in a multiple processor, multiple cluster system. Mechanisms for allowing a variety of transactions to complete locally are implemented by providing remote data caches associated with the various clusters in the system. The remote data caches receive data and state information for memory lines held in remote clusters. State information is provided to the remote data cache using various mechanisms including a coherence directory and augmented source done messages.

Abstract: A computer system is described having a plurality of resources which includes a plurality of processors, a distributed point-to-point transmission infrastructure for interconnecting the plurality of processors, and a partitioning processor for configuring the plurality of resources into at least one partition. Each partition comprises a subset of the plurality of resources. The partitioning processor is operable to configure the resources by enabling at least one link between at least one of the plurality of processors and at least one other one of the plurality of processors according to a previously specified partitioning schema. The link(s) so enabled corresponds to a portion of the point-to-point transmission infrastructure.

Abstract: Techniques and devices are provided for injecting transactions within computer systems having a plurality of multi-processor clusters. Each cluster includes a plurality of nodes, including processors, a service processor and an interconnection controller interconnected by point-to-point intra-cluster links. The processors and the interconnection controller in each cluster make transactions via an intra-cluster transaction protocol. Inter-cluster links are formed between interconnection controllers of different clusters. Each of the processors and the interconnection controller in a cluster has a test interface for communicating with the service processor. The service processor is configured to make an injected transaction according to the intra-cluster transaction protocol via one of the test interfaces. In preferred embodiments, the service processor is configured to make an injected transaction according to the intra-cluster transaction protocol via a test interface of an interconnection controller in the same cluster.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for improving the distribution of system management signals within a computer system complex. Mechanisms are provided for transmission both within a box and between computer system boxes. Local routing tables and general routing tables allow the distribution of system management signals precisely to resources associated with particular partitions. Signals are sequenced to put resources associated with one or more boxes in the appropriate states. The distribution of signals between boxes in the computer system complex can be accomplished with the use of a dedicated wire.
