Abstract: Techniques for coherency management based on processor and network-on-chip coherency management are disclosed. A plurality of processor cores is accessed. Each processor of the plurality of processor cores accesses a common memory through a coherent network-on-chip. The coherent network-on-chip comprises a global coherency. A local cache is coupled to a grouping of two or more processor cores. The local cache is shared among the two or more processor cores. The grouping of two or more processor cores and the shared local cache operates using local coherency. The local coherency is distinct from the global coherency. A cache maintenance operation is performed in the grouping of two or more processor cores and the shared local cache. The cache maintenance operation generates cache coherency transactions between the global coherency and the local coherency. The cache coherency transactions enable coherency among the plurality of processor cores, local caches, and the memory.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for enforcing symmetric flows of cross-region network traffic through firewalls in multi-region network environments. Enforcement may be configured automatically by analyzing network policy data to identify cross-region traffic that is to be firewalled, and configuring gateway nodes in the various regions to implement symmetric bidirectional flows through any firewalls in the communication path. Beneficially, by enforcing symmetric bi-directional flows of traffic through any firewalls in a communication path, the firewalls may maintain the state of a given communication session even when the communication session is between endpoints in different regions that have different architectures.
