Abstract
In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes detecting a cache miss for a cache line. A resource is reserved on each of one or more remote computing nodes, responsive to the cache miss. A request for a state of the cache line on the one or more remote computing nodes is broadcast to the one or more remote computing nodes, responsive to the cache miss. A resource credit is received from a first remote computing node of the one or more remote computing nodes, responsive to the request. The resource credit indicates that the first remote computing node will not participate in completing the request. The resource on the first remote computing node is released, responsive to receiving the resource credit from the first remote computing node.
