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 each including at least one processing unit. The first coherency domain includes a first cache memory and a second cache memory, and the second coherency domain includes a remote coherent cache memory. The first cache memory includes a cache controller, a data array including a data storage location for caching a memory block, and a cache directory. The cache directory includes a tag field for storing an address tag in association with the memory block and a coherency state field associated with the tag field and the data storage location. The coherency state field has a plurality of possible states including a state that indicates that the memory block is possibly shared with the second cache memory in the first coherency domain and cached only within the first coherency domain.

摘要： A cache coherent data processing system includes at least a first cache memory supporting a first processing unit and a second cache memory supporting a second processing unit. The first cache memory includes a cache array and a cache directory of contents of the cache array. In response to the first cache memory detecting on an interconnect a broadcast operation that specifies a request address, the first cache memory determines from the operation a type of the operation and a coherency state associated with the request address. In response to determining the type and the coherency state, the first cache memory filters out the broadcast operation without accessing the cache directory.

摘要： A processing unit for a multiprocessor data processing system includes a processor core including a store-through upper level cache, an instruction sequencing unit that fetches instructions for execution, a data register, and at least one instruction execution unit. The instruction execution unit, responsive to receipt of a load-reserve instruction from the instruction sequencing unit, executes the load-reserve instruction to determine a load target address. The processor core, responsive to the execution of the load-reserve instruction, performs a corresponding load-reserve operation by accessing the store-through upper level cache utilizing the load target address to cause data associated with the load target address to be loaded from the store-through upper level cache into the data register and by establishing a reservation for a reservation granule including the load target address.

摘要： A method for informing a processor of a selected order of transmission of data to the processor. The method comprises the steps of coupling system components via a data bus to the processor to effectuate data transfer, determining at the system component logic the order in which to transmit data to the processor, and issuing to the data bus a selected order bit concurrent with the data, wherein the selected order bit alerts the processor of the order and the data is transmitted in that order. In a preferred embodiment, the system component is the cache and the method may involve receiving at the cache a preference of ordering for a read address/request from the processor. The preference order logic of the cache controller or a preference order logic component evaluates the preference of ordering desired by comparing the processor preference with other preferences, including cache order preference. One preference order is selected and the data is then retrieved from a cache line of the cache in the order selected.

摘要： In a cache coherent data processing system including at least first and second coherency domains, a memory block is stored in a system memory in association with a domain indicator indicating whether or not the memory block is cached, if at all, only within the first coherency domain. A master in the first coherency domain determines whether or not a scope of broadcast transmission of an operation should extend beyond the first coherency domain by reference to the domain indicator stored in the cache and then performs a broadcast of the operation within the cache coherent data processing system in accordance with the determination.

摘要： A data processing system includes at least a first processing node having an input/output (I/O) controller and a second processing including a memory controller for a memory. The memory controller receives, in order, pipelined first and second DMA write operations from the I/O controller, where the first and second DMA write operations target first and second addresses, respectively. In response to the second DMA write operation, the memory controller establishes a state of a domain indicator associated with the second address to indicate an operation scope including the first processing node. In response to the memory controller receiving a data access request specifying the second address and having a scope excluding the first processing node, the memory controller forces the data access request to be reissued with a scope including the first processing node based upon the state of the domain indicator associated with the second address.

摘要： In response to a master receiving a memory access request indicating a target address, the master accesses a first cache directory of an upper level cache of a cache hierarchy. In response to the target address being associated in the first cache directory with an entry having a valid address tag and a first invalid coherency state, the master issues a request specifying the target address on an interconnect fabric without regard to a coherency state associated with the target address in a second cache directory of a lower level cache of the cache hierarchy. In response to the target address having a second invalid coherency state with respect to the first cache directory, the master issues a request specifying the target address on an interconnect fabric after determining a coherency state associated with the target address in the second cache directory of the lower level cache of the cache hierarchy.

摘要： A cache coherent data processing system includes a memory and at least first and second coherency domains that each include a respective one of first and second cache memories. A master in the first coherency domain selects a scope of an initial broadcast of an operation targeting a request address allocated to the memory from among a first scope including only the first coherency domain and a second scope including both the first and second coherency domains. The master selects the scope based, at least in part, upon whether the memory belongs to the first coherency domain and performs an initial broadcast of the operation within the cache coherent data processing system utilizing the selected scope.
