Abstract
A computer cache system delays cache coherence invalidation messages related to cache lines of a common memory region to collect these messages into a combined message that can be transmitted more efficiently. This delay may be coordinated with a detection of whether the processor is executing a data-race free portion of the program so that the delay system may be used for a variety of types of programs which may have data-race and data-race free sections.
