Abstract
A system may comprise a first node that includes an ordering point for data, the first node being operative to employ a write-back transaction associated with writing the data back to memory. The first node broadcasts a write-back message to at least one other node in the system in response to an acknowledgement provided by the memory indicating that the ordering point for the data has migrated from the first node to the memory.
