In some examples, the first processing unit is to offload at least some but not all home agent operations to the home agent of the memory hub. In some examples, the first processing unit comprises a second home agent and wherein the second home agent is to perform the at least some but not all home agent operations before the offload of at least some but not all home agent operations to the home agent of the memory hub. In some examples, based on provision of the at least some but not all home agent operations to be performed by the second home agent, the second home agent is to perform the at least some but not all home agent operations.
