摘要： At a first cache memory affiliated with a first processor core, an exclusive memory access operation is received via an interconnect fabric coupling the first cache memory to second and third cache memories respectively affiliated with second and third processor cores. The exclusive memory access operation specifies a target address. In response to receipt of the exclusive memory access operation, the first cache memory detects presence or absence of a source indication indicating that the exclusive memory access operation originated from the second cache memory to which the first cache memory is coupled by a private communication network to which the third cache memory is not coupled. In response to detecting presence of the source indication, a coherency state field of the first cache memory that is associated with the target address is updated to a first data-invalid state. In response to detecting absence of the source indication, the coherency state field of the first cache memory is updated to a different second data-invalid state.

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 heterogeneous processing element model is provided where I/O devices look and act like processors. In order to be treated like a processor, an I/O processing element, or other special purpose processing element, must follow some rules and have some characteristics of a processor, such as address translation, security, interrupt handling, and exception processing, for example. The heterogeneous processing element model puts special purpose processing elements on the same playing field as processors, from a programming perspective, operating system perspective, and power perspective. The operating system can get work to a security engine, for example, in the same way it does to a processor.

摘要： In response to executing a deallocate instruction, a deallocation request specifying a target address of a target cache line is sent from a processor core to a lower level cache. In response, a determination is made if the target address hits in the lower level cache. If so, the target cache line is retained in a data array of the lower level cache, and a replacement order field of the lower level cache is updated such that the target cache line is more likely to be evicted in response to a subsequent cache miss in a congruence class including the target cache line. In response to the subsequent cache miss, the target cache line is cast out to the lower level cache with an indication that the target cache line was a target of a previous deallocation request of the processor core.

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： A data processing system includes at least a first through third processing nodes coupled by an interconnect fabric. The first processing node includes a master, a plurality of snoopers capable of participating in interconnect operations, and a node interface that receives a request of the master and transmits the request of the master to the second processing unit with a nodal scope of transmission limited to the second processing node. The second processing node includes a node interface having a directory. The node interface of the second processing node permits the request to proceed with the nodal scope of transmission if the directory does not indicate that a target memory block of the request is cached other than in the second processing node and prevents the request from succeeding if the directory indicates that the target memory block of the request is cached other than in the second processing node.

摘要： A victim cache memory includes a cache array, a cache directory of contents of the cache array, and a cache controller that controls operation of the victim cache memory. The cache controller, responsive to receiving a castout command identifying a victim cache line castout from another cache memory, causes the victim cache line to be held in the cache array. If the other cache memory is a higher level cache in the cache hierarchy of the processor core, the cache controller marks the victim cache line in the cache directory so that it is less likely to be evicted by a replacement policy of the victim cache, and otherwise, marks the victim cache line in the cache directory so that it is more likely to be evicted by the replacement policy of the victim cache.

摘要： A processing unit includes a store-in lower level cache having reservation logic that determines presence or absence of a reservation and a processor core including a store-through upper level cache, an instruction execution unit, a load unit that, responsive to a hit in the upper level cache on a load-reserve operation generated through execution of a load-reserve instruction by the instruction execution unit, temporarily buffers a load target address of the load-reserve operation, and a flag indicating that the load-reserve operation bound to a value in the upper level cache. If a storage-modifying operation is received that conflicts with the load target address of the load-reserve operation, the processor core sets the flag to a particular state, and, responsive to execution of a store-conditional instruction, transmits an associated store-conditional operation to the lower level cache with a fail indication if the flag is set to the particular state.

摘要： A data processing system includes a plurality of local hubs each coupled to a remote hub by a respective one a plurality of point-to-point communication links. Each of the plurality of local hubs queues requests for access to memory blocks for transmission on a respective one of the point-to-point communication links to a shared resource in the remote hub. Each of the plurality of local hubs transmits requests to the remote hub utilizing only a fractional portion of a bandwidth of its respective point-to-point communication link. The fractional portion that is utilized is determined by an allocation policy based at least in part upon a number of the plurality of local hubs and a number of processing units represented by each of the plurality of local hubs. The allocation policy prevents overruns of the shared resource.
