Abstract
Circuitry for detecting snoop hits during the propagation and storage delay when transmitting a victim address to a bus cluster in a multiprocessor system. The circuitry includes stages for detecting the snoop hits during each cycle of the propagation delay. Each stage includes logic gates for comparing the wordline address with a snoop hit and for outputting a snoop hit signal upon detection of a snoop hit relating to the snoop address.
