Abstract

Within a coherent multi-processing system multiple processor coresare coupled via respective memory buses to a memory access control unit. The memory buses are formed of a uni-processing portion containing signals specifying a memory access request in accordance with a uni-processing protocol. This uni-processing bus is augmented by a multi-processing bus containing signals giving additional information concerning memory access requests which may be used by the memory access control unit to service those requests and manage coherency within the system.
