Next snoop predictor in a host controller |
摘要 |
A technique for optimizing cycle time in maintaining cache coherency. Specifically, a method and apparatus are provided to optimize the processing of requests in a multi-processor-bus system which implements a snoop-based coherency scheme. The acts of snooping a bus for a first address and searching a posting queue for the next address to be snooped are performed simultaneously to minimize the request cycle time.
