摘要： In response to execution of program code, a control register within scrubbing logic in a local coherency domain is initialized with at least a target address of a target memory block. In response to the initialization, the scrubbing logic issues to at least one cache hierarchy in a remote coherency domain a domain indication scrubbing request targeting a target memory block that may be cached by the at least one cache hierarchy. In response to receipt of a coherency response indicating that the target memory block is not cached in the remote coherency domain, a domain indication in the local coherency domain is updated to indicate that the target memory block is cached, if at all, only within the local coherency domain.

摘要： A multiprocessor data processing system includes at least first and second coherency domains, where the first coherency domain includes a system memory and a cache memory. According to a method of data processing, a cache line is buffered in a data array of the cache memory and a state field in a cache directory of the cache memory is set to a coherency state to indicate that the cache line is valid in the data array, that the cache line is held in the cache memory non-exclusively, and that another cache in said second coherency domain may hold a copy of the cache line.

摘要： A data processing system includes first and second processing units and a system memory. The first processing unit has first upper and first lower level caches, and the second processing unit has second upper and lower level caches. In response to a data request, a victim cache line to be castout from the first lower level cache is selected, and the first lower level cache selects between performing a lateral castout (LCO) of the victim cache line to the second lower level cache and a castout of the victim cache line to the system memory based upon a confidence indicator associated with the victim cache line. In response to selecting an LCO, the first processing unit issues an LCO command on the interconnect fabric and removes the victim cache line from the first lower level cache, and the second lower level cache holds the victim cache line.

摘要： A data processing system includes a processor core supported by upper and lower level caches. In response to executing a deallocate instruction in the processor core, a deallocation request is sent from the processor core to the lower level cache, the deallocation request specifying a target address associated with a target cache line. In response to receipt of the deallocation request at the lower level cache, a determination is made if the target address hits in the lower level cache. In response to determining that the target address hits in the lower level cache, the target cache line is retained in a data array of the lower level cache and a replacement order field in a directory of the lower level cache is updated such that the target cache line is more likely to be evicted from the lower level cache in response to a subsequent cache miss.

摘要： Fine-grained detection of data modification of original data is provided by associating separate guard bits with granules of memory storing the original data from which translated data has been obtained. The guard bits facilitate indicating whether the original data stored in the associated granule is indicated as protected. The guard bits are set and cleared by special-purpose instructions. Responsive to initiating a data store operation to modify the original data, the associated guard bit(s) are checked to determine whether the original data is indicated as protected. Responsive to the checking indicating that a guard bit is set for the associated original data, the data store operation to modify the original data is faulted and the translated data is discarded, thereby facilitating data coherency between the original data and the translated data.

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 data processing system includes an interconnect fabric, a system memory coupled to the interconnect fabric and including a virtual barrier synchronization region allocated to storage of virtual barrier synchronization registers (VBSRs), and a plurality of processing units coupled to the interconnect fabric and operable to access the virtual barrier synchronization region. Each of the plurality of processing units includes a processor core and a cache memory including a cache controller and a cache array that caches VBSR lines from the virtual barrier synchronization region of the system memory. The cache controller of a first processing unit, responsive to a memory access request from its processor core that targets a first VBSR line, transfers responsibility for writing back to the virtual barrier synchronization region a second VBSR line contemporaneously held in the cache arrays of first, second and third processing units. The responsibility is transferred via an election held over the interconnect fabric.

摘要： A processing unit for a data processing system includes a processor core having one or more execution units for processing instructions and a register file for storing data accessed in processing of the instructions. The processing unit also includes a multi-level cache hierarchy coupled to and supporting the processor core. The multi-level cache hierarchy includes at least one upper level of cache memory having a lower access latency and at least one lower level of cache memory having a higher access latency. The lower level of cache memory, responsive to receipt of a memory access request that hits only a partial cache line in the lower level cache memory, sources the partial cache line to the at least one upper level cache memory to service the memory access request. The at least one upper level cache memory services the memory access request without caching the partial cache line.
