Abstract
In a computing system, cache coherency is performed by selecting one of a plurality of coherency protocols for a first memory transaction. Cache coherency is performed on appropriate caches in the computing system in accordance with the selected one of the plurality of coherency protocols. For a second memory transaction, another selection is made of the plurality of coherency protocols. The selected one of the coherency protocols for the second memory transaction may be the same as or different from the selected one of the plurality of coherency protocols for the first memory transaction.
