Abstract
A computing system for handling barrier commands includes a memory, an interface, and a processor. The memory is configured to store a pre-barrier spreading range that identifies a target computing system associated with a barrier command. The interface is coupled to the memory and is configured to send a pre-barrier computing probe to the target computing system identified in the pre-barrier spreading range and receive a barrier completion notification messages from the target computing system. The pre-barrier computing probe is configured to instruct the target computing system to monitor a status of a transaction that needs to be executed for the barrier command to be completed. The processor is coupled to the interface and is configured to determine a status of the barrier command based on the received barrier completion notification messages.
