  • Publication number: 20190155729
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for improving snooping performance is disclosed. In one embodiment, one or more content addressable matches are used to determine where and when an address conflict occurs. Depending upon the timing, a read request or a snoop request may be set for retry. In another embodiment, an age order matrix may be used to determine when several core snoop requests may be issued during a same time period, so that the snoops may be processed during this time period.

  • Patent number: 9507534
    Abstract: Systems and methods to implement a multi-level memory system having a volatile memory and a non-volatile memory are implemented. A home agent may control memory access to both a volatile main memory and a non-volatile second level memory. The second level memory may be inclusive of the main memory. In an embodiment, the home agent may be configured to manage the memory system in a low power state. In a low power state, the volatile memory may be shut down and the non-volatile memory utilized as the only local memory. In an embodiment, the home agent may be configured to manage error recovery for the main memory by recovering the data saved locally in the second level memory. In an embodiment, multiple cores may access the second level memory.

  • Patent number: 9208110
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for implementing raw memory transactions. An SoC is configured with a plurality of nodes coupled together forming a ring interconnect. Processing cores and memory cache components are operatively coupled to and co-located at respective nodes. The memory cache components include a plurality of last level caches (LLC's) operating as a distributed LLC and a plurality of home agents and caching agents employed for supporting coherent memory transactions. Route-back tables are used to encode memory transactions requests with embedded routing data that is implemented by agents that facilitate data transfers between link interface nodes and memory controllers. Accordingly, memory request data corresponding to raw memory transactions may be routed back to requesting entities using headerless packets.

  • Publication number: 20140095801
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for retaining coherent cache contents during deep power-down operations, and reducing the low-power state entry and exit overhead to improve processor energy efficiency and performance. The embodiments flush or clean the Modified-state lines from the cache before entering a deep low-power state, and then implement a deferred snoop strategy while in the powered-down state. Upon existing the powered-down state, the embodiments process the deferred snoops. A small additional cache and a snoop filter (or other cache-tracking structure) may be used along with additional logic to retain cache contents coherently through deep power-down operations, which may span multiple low-power states.
