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： In response to a memory access request of a processor core that targets a target cache line, the lower level cache of a vertical cache hierarchy associated with the processor core supplies a copy of the target cache line to an upper level cache in the vertical cache hierarchy and retains a copy in a shared coherence state. The upper level cache holds the copy of the target cache line in a private shared ownership coherence state indicating that each cached copy of the target memory block is cached within the vertical cache hierarchy associated with the processor core. In response to the upper level cache signaling replacement of the copy of the target cache line in the private shared ownership coherence state, the lower level cache updates its copy of the target cache line to the exclusive ownership coherence state without coherency messaging with other vertical cache hierarchies.

摘要： A cache, system and method for reducing the number of rejected snoop requests. A “stall/reorder unit” in a cache receives a snoop request from an interconnect. Information, such as the address, of the snoop request is stored in a queue of the stall/reorder unit. The stall/reorder unit forwards the snoop request to a selector which also receives a request from a processor. An arbitration mechanism selects either the snoop request or the request from the processor. If the snoop request is denied by the arbitration mechanism, information, e.g., address, about the snoop request may be maintained in the stall/reorder unit. The request may be later resent to the selector. This process may be repeated up to “n” clock cycles. By providing the snoop request additional opportunities (n clock cycles) to be accepted by the arbitration mechanism, fewer snoop requests may ultimately be denied.

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.

摘要： A processing unit includes a local processor core and a cache memory coupled to the local processor core. The cache memory includes a data array, a directory of contents of the data array. The cache memory further includes one or more state machines that service a first set of memory access requests, an arbiter that directs servicing of a second set of memory access requests by reference to the data array and the directory on a fixed schedule, address collision logic that protects memory access requests in the second set by detecting and signaling address conflicts between active memory access requests in the second set and subsequent memory access requests, and dispatch logic coupled to the address collision logic. The dispatch logic dispatches memory access requests in the first set to the one or more state machines for servicing and signals the arbiter to direct servicing of memory access requests in the second set according to the fixed schedule.
