System and method for read migratory optimization in a cache coherency protocol

摘要

A system comprises a first node including data having an associated D-state and a second node operative to provide a source broadcast requesting the data. The first node is operative in response to the source broadcast to provide the data to the second node and transition the state associated with the data at the first node from the D-state to an O-state without concurrently updating memory. An S-state is associated with the data at the second node.
