Error handling mechanism for a tag memory within coherency control circuitry
Abstract:
A data processing system 2 is provided with multiple processor cores 4, 6, 8, 10 each incorporating a data cache memory 12, 14, 16, 18. A snoop control unit 20 manages coherency between the data values stored within the data caches 12, 14, 16, 18. The snoop control unit 20 incorporates a TAG memory 22. If an error is detected within an entry of the TAG memory 22, then a hit operation is forced to the corresponding storage location one or more of the data caches 12, 14, 16, 18.
