Abstract
A computer implemented method for managing cache requests includes creating a transient table including records corresponding to one or more participant caches in a system, receiving a new request with respect to an address, wherein the request includes one or more controller actions to be executed, and wherein the request corresponds to one of the one or more participant caches in the system, determining whether an entry exists in the directory table corresponding to the address indicated by the received request, determining whether an entry exists in the transient table for the address indicated by the received request, processing the transient entry indicated by the index in the directory entry to provide a current state of the address indicated by the received request, and appropriating requested controller actions according to the directory table entry, the transient entry, and the received request.
