Zusammenfassung:A multi-processor unit includes a set of processing clusters. Each processing cluster is coupled to a data ring and a snoop ring. The unit also includes a snoop controller adapted to process memory requests from each processing cluster. The data ring enables clusters to exchange requested information. The snoop ring is coupled to the snoop controller-enabling the snoop controller to forward each cluster's memory requests to the other clusters in the form of snoop requests.
