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 method and computer system for reducing the wiring congestion, required real estate, and access latency in a cache subsystem with a sectored and sliced lower cache by re-configuring sector-to-slice allocation and the lower cache addressing scheme. With this allocation, sectors having discontiguous addresses are placed within the same slice, and a reduced-wiring scheme is possible between two levels of lower caches based on this re-assignment of the addressable sectors within the cache slices. Additionally, the lower cache effective address tag is re-configured such that the address fields previously allocated to identifying the sector and the slice are switched relative to each other's location within the address tag. This re-allocation of the address bits enables direct slice addressing based on the indicated sector.
摘要翻译：一种方法和计算机系统，用于通过重新配置扇区到片分配和较低的高速缓存寻址方案来减少具有扇区和分片的低级高速缓存的高速缓存子系统中的布线拥塞，所需的房地产和访问延迟。通过这种分配，具有不连续地址的扇区被放置在相同的片内，并且基于对高速缓存片内的可寻址扇区的这种重新分配，可以在两级低级高速缓存之间进行简化布线方案。此外，低速缓存有效地址标签被重新配置，使得先前分配用于识别扇区和片的地址字段相对于地址标签内的彼此的位置被切换。地址位的这种重新分配使得能够基于指示的扇区进行直接片寻址。

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： In a cache coherent data processing system including at least first and second coherency domains, a master performs a first broadcast of an operation within the cache coherent data processing system that is limited in scope of transmission to the first coherency domain. The master receives a response of the first coherency domain to the first broadcast of the operation. If the response indicates the operation cannot be serviced in the first coherency domain alone, the master increases the scope of transmission by performing a second broadcast of the operation in both the first and second coherency domains. If the response indicates the operation can be serviced in the first coherency domain, the master refrains from performing the second broadcast.

摘要： A cache memory logically partitions a cache array having a single access/command port into at least two slices, and uses a first directory to access the first array slice while using a second directory to access the second array slice, but accesses from the cache directories are managed using a single cache arbiter which controls the single access/command port. In one embodiment, each cache directory has its own directory arbiter to handle conflicting internal requests, and the directory arbiters communicate with the cache arbiter. The cache array is arranged with rows and columns of cache sectors wherein a cache line is spread across sectors in different rows and columns, with a portion of the given cache line being located in a first column having a first latency and another portion of the given cache line being located in a second column having a second latency greater than the first latency.
