发明名称 Cache coherent protocol in which exclusive and modified data is transferred to requesting agent from snooping agent
摘要 <p>A system may include two or more agents, at least some of which may cache data. In response to a read transaction, a caching agent may snoop its cached data and provide a response in a response phase of the transaction. Particularly, the response may include an exclusive indication used to represent both exclusive and modified states within that agent. In one embodiment, the agent responding exclusive may be responsible for providing the data for a read transaction, and may transmit an indication of which of the exclusive or modified state that agent had the data in concurrent with transmitting the data. &lt;IMAGE&gt;</p>
