Configuration based cache coherency protocol selection

Topology of clusters of processors of a computer configuration, configured to support any of a plurality of cache coherency protocols, is discovered at initialization time to determine which one of the plurality of cache coherency protocols is to be used to handle coherency requests of the configura...
