摘要： A data processing system includes at least first and second coherency domains, each including at least one processor core and a memory. In response to an initialization operation by a processor core that indicates a target memory block to be initialized, a cache memory in the first coherency domain determines a coherency state of the target memory block with respect to the cache memory. In response to the determination, the cache memory selects a scope of broadcast of an initialization request identifying the target memory block. A narrower scope including the first coherency domain and excluding the second coherency domain is selected in response to a determination of a first coherency state, and a broader scope including the first coherency domain and the second coherency domain is selected in response to a determination of a second coherency state. The cache memory then broadcasts an initialization request with the selected scope. In response to the initialization request, the target memory block is initialized within a memory of the data processing system to an initialization value.

摘要： A data processing system includes a processor core and a memory subsystem. The memory subsystem includes a store queue having a plurality of entries, where each entry includes an address field for holding the target address of store operation, a data field for holding data for the store operation, and a virtual sync field indicating a presence or absence of a synchronizing operation associated with the entry. The memory subsystem further includes a store queue controller that, responsive to receipt at the memory subsystem of a sequence of operations including a synchronizing operation and a particular store operation, places a target address and data of the particular store operation within the address field and data field, respectively, of an entry in the store queue and sets the virtual sync field of the entry to represent the synchronizing operation, such that a number of store queue entries utilized is reduced.

摘要： A data processing system includes a memory subsystem and an execution unit, coupled to the memory subsystem, which executes store instructions to determine target memory addresses of store operations to be performed by the memory subsystem. The data processing system further includes a mode field having a first setting indicating strong ordering between store operations and a second setting indicating weak ordering between store operations. Store operations accessing the memory subsystem are associated with either the first setting or the second setting. The data processing system also includes logic that, based upon settings of the mode field, inserts a synchronizing operation between a store operation associated with the first setting and a store operation associated with the second setting, such that all store operations preceding the synchronizing operation complete before store operations subsequent to the synchronizing operation.

摘要： A method and processor system that substantially eliminates data bus operations when completing updates of an entire cache line with a full store queue entry. The store queue within a processor chip is designed with a series of AND gates connecting individual bits of the byte enable bits of a corresponding entry. The AND output is fed to the STQ controller and signals when the entry is full. When full entries are selected for dispatch to the RC machines, the RC machine is signaled that the entry updates the entire cache line. The RC machine obtains write permission to the line, and then the RC machine overwrites the entire cache line. Because the entire cache line is overwritten, the data of the cache line is not retrieved when the request for the cache line misses at the cache or when data goes state before write permission is obtained by the RC machine.

摘要： In response to execution of program code, a control register within scrubbing logic in a local coherency domain is initialized with at least a target address of a target memory block. In response to the initialization, the scrubbing logic issues to at least one cache hierarchy in a remote coherency domain a domain indication scrubbing request targeting a target memory block that may be cached by the at least one cache hierarchy. In response to receipt of a 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 cache, system and method for reducing the number of rejected snoop requests. An incoming snoop request is entered in the first available latch in a pipeline of latches in a stall/reorder unit if the stall/reorder unit is not full. The entered snoop request is dispatched to a selector upon entering a bottom latch in the pipeline. The stall/reorder unit is not informed as to whether the dispatched snoop request is accepted by an arbitration mechanism for several clock cycles after the dispatch occurred. A copy of the dispatched snoop request is stored in a top latch in an overrun pipeline of latches in the first unit upon dispatching the snoop request. By maintaining information about the snoop request, the snoop request may be dispatched again to the selector in case the dispatched snoop request was rejected thereby increasing the chance that the snoop request will ultimately be accepted.

摘要： A processing unit for a multiprocessor data processing system includes a store-through upper level cache, an instruction sequencing unit that fetches instructions for execution, at least one instruction execution unit that executes a store-conditional instruction to determine a store target address, a store queue that, following execution of the store-conditional instruction, buffers a corresponding store operation, sequencer logic associated with the store queue. The sequencer logic, responsive to receipt of a latency indication indicating that resolution of the store-conditional operation as passing or failing is subject to significant latency, invalidates, prior to resolution of the store-conditional operation, a cache line in the store-through upper level cache to which a load-reserve operation previously bound.

摘要： A cache coherent data processing system includes at least first and second coherency domains. In a first cache memory within the first coherency domain of the data processing system, a memory block is held in a storage location associated with an address tag and a coherency state field. A determination is made if a home system memory assigned an address associated with the memory block is within the first coherency domain. If not, the coherency state field is set to a coherency state that indicates that the address tag is valid, that the storage location does not contain valid data, the first coherency domain does not contain the home system memory, and that, following formation of the coherency state, the memory block is cached outside of the first coherency domain.

摘要： In an entry of a first cache memory within a first coherency domain of a data processing system including at least first and second coherency domains, a coherency state field is set to a first state that indicates that an associated address tag is valid, an associated storage location does not contain valid data, and a memory block identified by the address tag is likely cached outside the first coherency domain. In response to snooping a castout operation, the first cache memory determines if the castout operation hits in the entry and, if so, updates the coherency state field from the first state to a second state indicating that the associated address tag is invalid.
