In one embodiment, an apparatus includes: a plurality of cores to execute instructions; a firmware agent to execute a first firmware; a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) interface to communicate with a device via a PCIe link; and a boot agent coupled to the PCIe interface to download the PCIe firmware from a non-volatile memory and provide the PCIe firmware to the PCIe interface. The PCIe interface may receive a PCIe firmware for the PCIe interface before the firmware agent is to receive the first firmware. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

A shared mesh comprises a mesh station. The mesh station is used to couple to at least a first core component and a second core component. The mesh station includes a logic unit. The mesh station is shared by at least the first core component and the second core component. A memory is coupled to the mesh station.

Shared mesh

In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for receiving a first memory request from a first caching agent associated with a first processor, in a home agent associated with a memory, directing the first memory request to a writeback queue of the home agent if the first memory request is a writeback request and otherwise directing the first memory request to a second queue of the home agent. In this way, circular dependencies may be avoided. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Avoiding deadlocks in a multiprocessor system

According to one embodiment, a computer system is disclosed. The computer system includes a graphics accelerator and a graphics cache coupled to the graphics accelerator. The graphics cache stores texture data, color data and depth data.
