Abstract

Embodiments of the invention describe a cache coherency protocol that eliminates the need for ordering between message classes and also eliminates home tracker preallocation. Embodiments of the invention describe a less complex conflict detection and resolution mechanism (at the home agent) without any performance degradation in form of bandwidth or latency compared to prior art solutions. Embodiments of the invention describe a home agent that may receive request messages, e.g., data ownership request messages and data request messages, which include issuance data indicating an order of the respective message issued. Said home agent may determine whether an early or late conflict exists based, at least in part, on a received conflict response message and the issuance data of a most recent completed transaction.
