Abstract
A method and apparatus for improving snooping performance is disclosed. In one embodiment, one or more content addressable matches are used to determine where and when an address conflict occurs. Depending upon the timing, a read request or a snoop request may be set for retry. In another embodiment, an age order matrix may be used to determine when several core snoop requests may be issued during a same time period, so that the snoops may be processed during this time period.
