Title: Cache coherency without line exclusivity in MP systems having store-in caches

Journal Article · · IBM Tech. Disclosure Bull.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5199089

By modifying the function of the storage control unit, a multiprocessor (MP) system having store-in caches is enabled to operate with the same versatility as an MP system having store-through caches, thereby eliminating the requirement for line exclusivity and greatly reducing the occurrence of cross-interrogates.
