Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to hardware hash tables, and more specifically, to generation of a cache coherent system such as in a Network on Chip (NoC). The present disclosure is further directed to a directory structure that includes a new field, referred to, for instance as, encoded value, which indicates the original owner of a dirty line. As an original holder may have held or modified the original line, by tracking the original holder, example implementations can track the agents that are potentially dirty, as the encoded value can indicate the agent with the most recently unique line, which can then be shared with the other agents.

Abstract: An electronic device and a method for providing content on the electronic device are provided.

Abstract: Addition, search, and performance of other allied activities relating to keys are performed in a hardware hash table. Further, high performance and efficient design may be provided for a hash table applicable to CPU caches and cache coherence directories. Set-associative tables and cuckoo hashing are combined for construction of a directory table of a directory based cache coherence controller. A method may allow configuration of C cuckoo ways, where C is an integer greater than or equal to 2, wherein each cuckoo way Ci is a set-associative table with N sets, where each set has an associativity of A, where A is an integer greater than or equal to 2.

Abstract: Example implementations of the present disclosure are directed to handling the eviction of a conflicting cuckoo entry while reducing performance degradation resulting. In example implementations, when an address is replacing another address, the evicted address does not necessarily map to the same places as the new address. Example implementations attempt to conduct a run through of the cache coherent directory with the new entry such that the evicted address can find an empty entry in the directory and fill the empty entry.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein are directed to solutions for NoC interconnects that provide end-to-end uniform- and weighted-fair allocation of resource bandwidths among various contenders. The example implementations are fully distributed and involve tagging the messages with meta-information when the messages are injected in the interconnection network.
