Abstract

A memory interface for interfacing between a memory bus and a cache memory. A plurality of bus interfaces are configured to transfer data between the memory bus and the cache memory, and a plurality of snoop processors are configured to receive snoop requests from the memory bus. Each snoop processor is associated with a respective bus interface and each snoop processor is configured, on receiving a snoop request, to determine whether the snoop request relates to the bus interface associated with that snoop processor and to process the snoop request in dependence on that determination.
