Abstract: Methods and apparatus relating to an inter-queue anti-starvation mechanism with dynamic deadlock avoidance in a retry based pipeline are described. In one embodiment, logic may arbitrate between two queues based on various rules. The queues may store data including local or remote requests, data responses, non-data responses, external interrupts, etc. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus relating to multiple-queue multiple-resource entry sleep and wakeup for power savings and bandwidth conservation in a retry based pipeline are described. In one embodiment, a bit indicates whether a corresponding queue entry is asleep or awake with respect to arbitration for resources in a retry based pipeline. Furthermore, multiple entries from different queues may be grouped together and multiple resources may be grouped together. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

Abstract: A physically distributed cache memory system includes an interconnection network, first level cache memory slices, and second level cache memory slices. The first level cache memory slices are coupled to the interconnection network to generate tagged ordered store requests. Each tagged ordered store requests has a tag including requester identification and a store sequence token. The second level cache memory slices are coupled to the interconnection network to execute ordered store requests in-order across the physically distributed cache memory system in response to each tag of the tagged ordered store requests.
