Zusammenfassung:A data structure includes a plurality of entries each corresponding to a different systemwide combined response of a data processing system. A particular entry includes identifiers of multiple possible actions that can be taken in response to a systemwide combined response. Master logic issues a memory access request on a system fabric of the data processing system. The master logic, responsive to receiving the systemwide combined response and a selection of one of the multiple possible actions from a source of the memory access request prior to receipt of the systemwide combined response, selects the particular entry based on the systemwide combined response and selects one of the multiple possible actions identified in the particular entry based on the received selection. The master logic services the memory access request in accordance with the systemwide combined response by performing the selected one of the multiple possible actions.
