Abstract
An apparatus has decoder circuitry within a first processing element to decode instructions, in order to respond to a sequence of instructions by generating control signals. Processing circuitry within the first processing element is responsive to the control signals to perform operations defined by the sequence of instructions. The decoder circuitry is responsive to a stash hint instruction associated with a given data update instruction in the sequence of instructions, to issue control signals to cause the processing circuitry to respond to the given data update instruction by initiating a modified data update transaction via an interface used to couple the first processing element to interconnect circuitry. The modified data update transaction identifies a given memory address to which updated data is to be written in response to the given data update instruction, and triggers stashing control circuitry accessible via the interconnect circuitry to cause the updated data to be made available for stashing in an associated storage structure of at least one further processing element coupled to the interconnect circuitry.
