Hi All,
I am a newbie in CHI. I have two problems.
spec say that ,Fully Coherent Request Nodes (RN-Fs), contain coherent caches and will accept and respond to snoops.
I checked the spec, snoops are Transaction. So, what is the meaning of will accept and respond to snoops.? Who send the snoops transaction?
In the spec 1-26, it says the coherence protocol ensures that all Requesters observe the correct data value at any given address location by enforcing that no more than one copy exists whenever a store occurs to the location. After each store to a location, other Requesters can obtain a new copy of the data for their own local cache, to permit multiple cached copies to exist.
What is the meaning of enforcing that no more than one copy exists ?
Would you explain to me in detail?
Thanks a lot!!
