Abstract
Systems and methods for writing data from a caching agent to a main memory in a computer system are provided. In systems and methods for writing data from a caching agent to a main memory in a computer system, a notice of an occurrence of a triggering event is received. In response to the receipt of the notice, data is retrieved from a storage array of the caching agent in accordance with a pre-clean criterion. The pre-clean criterion identifies the data that is being retrieved from the storage array prior to receiving a command on the data. The data is written to the main memory, where the writing of the data causes a memory address associated with the data to have identical contents in the storage array and in the main memory.
