Abstract: A data structure marshalling unit for a processor comprises data structure traversal circuitry to perform data structure traversal processing according to a dataflow architecture. The data structure traversal circuitry comprises two or more layers of traversal circuit units, each layer comprising two or more parallel lanes of traversal circuit units. Each traversal circuit unit triggers loading, according to a programmable iteration range, of at least one stream of elements of at least one data structure from data storage circuitry. For at least one programmable setting for the data structure traversal circuitry, the programmable iteration range for a given traversal circuit unit in a downstream layer is dependent on one or more elements of the at least one stream of elements loaded by at least one traversal circuit unit in an upstream layer.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for receiving a request from a plurality of processing units, where multiple of those processing units have associated cache storage. A snoop unit is used to implement a cache coherency protocol when a request is received that identifies a cacheable memory address. The snoop unit has snoop filter storage comprising a plurality of snoop filter tables organized in a hierarchical arrangement. The snoop filter tables comprise a primary snoop filter table at a highest level in the hierarchy, and each snoop filter table at a lower level in the hierarchy forms a backup snoop filter table for an adjacent snoop filter table at a higher level in the hierarchy. Each snoop filter table is arranged as a multi-way set associative storage structure, and each backup snoop filter table has a different number of sets than are provided in the adjacent snoop filter table.
