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 first SMP computer has first and second processing units and a first system memory pool, a second SMP computer has third and fourth processing units and a second system memory pool, and a third SMP computer has at least fifth and sixth processing units and third, fourth and fifth system memory pools. The fourth system memory pool is inaccessible to the third, fourth and sixth processing units and accessible to at least the second and fifth processing units, and the fifth system memory pool is inaccessible to the first, second and sixth processing units and accessible to at least the fourth and fifth processing units. A first interconnect couples the second processing unit for load-store coherent, ordered access to the fourth system memory pool, and a second interconnect couples the fourth processing unit for load-store coherent, ordered access to the fifth system memory pool.

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.

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 data processing system 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, at least one snoop machine that services memory access requests of a remote processor core, and multiple state machines that service memory access requests of the local processor core. The multiple state machines include a first state machine that has a first set of memory access requests of the local processor core that it is capable of servicing and a second state machine that has a different second set of memory access requests of the local processor core that it is capable of servicing.

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.

摘要： A method of processing store requests in a data processing system includes enqueuing a store request in a store queue of a cache memory of the data processing system. The store request identifies a target memory block by a target address and specifies store data. While the store request and a barrier request older than the store request are enqueued in the store queue, a read-claim machine of the cache memory is dispatched to acquire coherence ownership of target memory block of the store request. After coherence ownership of the target memory block is acquired and the barrier request has been retired from the store queue, a cache array of the cache memory is updated with the store data.
