Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, and methods for performing efficient data transfer in a computing system are disclosed. A computing system includes multiple fabric interfaces in clients and a fabric. A packet transmitter in the fabric interface includes multiple queues, each for storing packets of a respective type, and a corresponding address history cache for each queue. Queue arbiters in the packet transmitter select candidate packets for issue and determine when address history caches on both sides of the link store the upper portion of the address. The packet transmitter sends a source identifier and a pointer for the request in the packet on the link, rather than the entire request address, which reduces the size of the packet. The queue arbiters support out-of-order issue from the queues. The queue arbiters detect conflicts with out-of-order issue and adjust the outbound packets and fields stored in the queue entries to avoid data corruption.
