Zusammenfassung:A processing system includes a first processor configured to issue a first request in a first format, an adapter configured to receive the first request in the first format and send the first request in a second format, and a memory coherency interconnect configured to receive the first request in the second format and determine whether the first request in the second format is for a translation lookaside buffer (TLB) operation or a non-TLB operation based on information in the first request in the second format. When the first request in the second format is for a TLB operation, the interconnect routes the first request in the second format to a TLB global ordering point (GOP). When the first request in the second format is not for a TLB operation, the interconnect routes the first request in the second format to a non-TLB GOP.
