摘要： A victim cache line having a data-invalid coherence state is selected for castout from a first lower level cache of a first processing unit. The first processing unit issues on an interconnect fabric a lateral castout (LCO) command identifying the victim cache line to be castout from the first lower level cache, indicating the data-invalid coherence state, and indicating that a lower level cache is an intended destination of the victim cache line. In response to a coherence response to the LCO command indicating success of the LCO command, the victim cache line is removed from the first lower level cache and held in a second lower level cache of a second processing unit in the data-invalid coherence state.

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 data processing system includes a first processing unit and a second processing unit coupled by an interconnect fabric. The first processing unit has a first processor core and associated first upper and first lower level caches, and the second processing unit has a second processor core and associated second upper and lower level caches. In response to a data request, a victim cache line is selected for castout from the first lower level cache. The first processing unit issues on the interconnect fabric a lateral castout (LCO) command that identifies the victim cache line to be castout from the first lower level cache and indicates that a lower level cache is an intended destination. In response to a coherence response indicating success of the LCO command, the victim cache line is removed from the first lower level cache and held in the second lower level cache.

摘要： A multiprocessor data processing system includes a plurality of cache memories including a cache memory. The cache memory issues a read-type operation for a target cache line. While waiting for receipt of the target cache line, the cache memory monitors to detect a competing store-type operation for the target cache line. In response to receiving the target cache line, the cache memory installs the target cache line in the cache memory, and sets a coherency state of the target cache line installed in the cache memory based on whether the competing store-type operation is detected.

摘要： A multiprocessor data processing system includes a plurality of cache memories including a cache memory. In response to the cache memory detecting a storage-modifying operation specifying a same target address as that of a first read-type operation being processed by the cache memory, the cache memory provides a retry response to the storage-modifying operation. In response to completion of the read-type operation, the cache memory enters a referee mode. While in the referee mode, the cache memory temporarily dynamically increases priority of any storage-modifying operation targeting the target address in relation to any second read-type operation targeting the target address.

摘要： A multiprocessor data processing system includes at least first and second coherency domains, where the first coherency domain includes a system memory and a cache memory. According to a method of data processing, a cache line is buffered in a data array of the cache memory and a state field in a cache directory of the cache memory is set to a coherency state to indicate that the cache line is valid in the data array, that the cache line is held in the cache memory non-exclusively, and that another cache in said second coherency domain may hold a copy of the cache line.

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.
摘要翻译：响应于执行取消分配指令，将指定目标高速缓存行的目标地址的解除分配请求从处理器核发送到较低级高速缓存。作为响应，确定目标地址是否在较低级别高速缓存中。如果是这样，则目标高速缓存行被保留在较低级高速缓存的数据阵列中，并且更新较低级高速缓存的替换顺序字段，使得目标高速缓存行更可能响应于后续高速缓存未命中而被驱逐在包含目标缓存行的同余类中。响应于随后的高速缓存未命中，目标高速缓存行被推出到较低级缓存，指示目标高速缓存行是处理器核心的先前释放请求的目标。
