Abstract
A technique for performing cache injection includes monitoring, at a host fabric interface, snoop responses to an address on a bus. When the snoop responses indicate a data block associated with the address is in a shared state, input/output data associated with the address on the bus is directed to a cache that includes the data block in the shared state and is located physically closer to the host fabric interface than one or more other caches that include the data block associated with the address in the shared state.
