DIRECT SNOOP INTERVENTION

A low latency cache intervention mechanism implements a snoop filter to dynamically select an intervener cache for a cache "hit" in a multiprocessor architecture of a computer system. The selection of the intervener is based on variables such as latency, topology, frequency, utilization, l...

Zusammenfassung:A low latency cache intervention mechanism implements a snoop filter to dynamically select an intervener cache for a cache "hit" in a multiprocessor architecture of a computer system. The selection of the intervener is based on variables such as latency, topology, frequency, utilization, load, wear balance, and/or power state of the computer system.
