摘要： A data processing system includes a plurality of requestors and a memory controller for a system memory. In response to receiving from the requestor a read-type request targeting a memory block in the system memory, the memory controller protects the memory block from modification, and in response to an indication that the memory controller is responsible for servicing the read-type request, the memory controller transmits the memory block to the requestor. Prior to receipt of the memory block by the requestor, the memory controller ends protection of the memory block from modification, and the requestor begins protection of the memory block from modification. In response to receipt of the memory block, the requestor ends its protection of the memory block from modification.

摘要： A cache coherent data processing system includes at least first and second coherency domains. The first coherency domain contains a memory controller, an associated system memory having a target memory block identified by a target address, and a domain indicator indicating whether the target memory block is cached outside the first coherency domain. During operation, the first coherency domain receives a flush operation broadcast to the first and second coherency domains, where the flush operation specifies the target address of the target memory block. The first coherency domain also receives a combined response for the flush operation representing a system-wide response to the flush operation. In response to receipt in the first coherency domain of the combined response, a determination is made if the combined response indicates that a cached copy of the target memory block may remain within the data processing system. In response to a determination that the combined response indicates that a cached copy of the target memory block may remain in the data processing system, the domain indicator is updated to indicate that the target memory block is cached outside of the first coherency domain.

摘要： A cache coherent data processing system includes at least first and second coherency domains. The first coherency domain includes a system memory controller for a system memory and a first processing unit having a first cache memory. The second coherency domain includes a second processing unit having a second cache memory. In the first cache memory, a coherency state field associated with a storage location and an address tag is set to a first coherency state. In response to snooping an exclusive access request specifying a target address matching the address tag, the first cache memory provides a first partial response to the exclusive access request based at least in part upon the first coherency state. In response to snooping the exclusive access request, the memory controller determines whether it is responsible for the target address and provides a second partial response to the exclusive access request based at least in part upon an outcome of the determination. At least the first and second partial responses are accumulated to obtain a combined response for the exclusive access request. The combined response includes an indication of whether or not a highest point of coherency and a memory controller of a home system memory for the target address reside within a same coherency domain. The first cache memory updates the coherency state field from the first coherency state to a second coherency state in response to the indication in the combined response.

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： According to one embodiment, a method of coherency management in a data processing system includes holding a cache line in an upper level cache memory in an exclusive ownership coherency state and thereafter removing the cache line from the upper level cache memory and transmitting a castout request for the cache line from the upper level cache memory to a lower level cache memory. The castout request includes an indication of a shared ownership coherency state. In response to the castout request, the cache line is placed in the lower level cache memory in a coherency state determined in accordance with the castout request.

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： Scrubbing logic in a local coherency domain issues a domain query request to at least one cache hierarchy in a remote coherency domain. The domain query request is a non-destructive probe of a coherency state associated with a target memory block by the at least one cache hierarchy. A coherency response to the domain query request is received. In response to the 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.
