Abstract
Operating a data distribution including a data distribution module and a plurality of host-bus adapters coupled to the data distribution module can include defining a coherent group that includes a set of members that includes the plurality of host-bus adapters; providing a group-coherent memory area in each of the set of members; and initiating a one-to-all broadcast message from a one of the plurality of host-bus adapters to all of the set of members when the one of the plurality of host-bus adapters requests a write to its local group-coherent memory area. The group-coherent memory area in each of the set of members is physically mirrored with a temporal coherence and no semaphores or access enables are required to achieve the temporal coherence of the coherent group.
