Abstract

Systems, apparatuses, and methods for reducing probe filter accesses in response to processing-in-memory (PIM) requests are disclosed. A coherent secondary unit receives PIM requests targeting a corresponding PIM device. For each PIM request that is received, the coherent secondary unit performs a lookup of a PIM address table (PAT). If the address of the PIM request matches an address of an existing entry in the PAT, the coherent secondary unit prevents the PIM request from being sent to a probe filter. Otherwise, if there is no match for the address of the PIM request in the entries of the PAT, the coherent secondary unit sends the PIM request to the probe filter, and the coherent secondary unit creates a new PAT entry for the address of the PIM request. Any subsequent PIM requests to the same address will match with the new entry in the PAT.
