Abstract
A system and method are disclosed that include a bridge that translates non-coherent transactions, which are received from a non-coherent subsystem, into one or more coherent transactions to be issued to a coherent subsystem. The bridge also buffers data coherently in an internal cache, also known as a proxy cache, based on certain attributes of the non-coherent transaction. The invention may be applied to any cache, which receives read and write transactions that become coherent transactions.
