Abstract
An approach for pipelining ordered input/output transactions to coherent memory in a distributed memory, cache coherent, multi-processor system. A prefetch engine prefetches data from the distributed, coherent memory in response to a transaction from an input/output bus directed to the distributed, coherent memory. An input/output coherent cache buffer receives the prefetched data and is kept coherent with the distributed, coherent memory and with other caching agents in the system.
