Abstract:
A mechanism is provided for memory coherence in a multiple processor system. Responsive to a memory operation from a processing core of the multiple processor system resulting in a cache miss, the mechanism checks a private region table associated with the processing core. The memory operation attempts to access a memory region. Responsive to determining the memory region corresponds to an entry in the private region table, the mechanism performs a remote memory controller snoop of a remote memory controller without snooping the multiple processor system.
