Abstract
A heterogeneous computing system performs data synchronization. The heterogeneous computing system includes a system memory, a cluster, and a processing unit outside the cluster. The cluster includes a sync circuit, inner processors, and a snoop filter. The sync circuit is operative to receive a sync command indicating a sync address range. The sync command is issued by one of the processing unit and the inner processors. The sync circuit further determines whether addresses recorded in the snoop filter fall within the sync address range. In response to a determination that a recorded address falls within the sync address range, the sync circuit notifies a target one of the inner processors that owns a cache line having the recorded address to take a sync action on the cache line.
