Hi all,
i' ve some question about the MOESI_CMP_token protocol.
I would like to know if this protocol can be considered similar to a
directory protocol in terms of traffic and performance (like the tokenD
implementation of the token coherence protocol).
How the tokens are asked with a broadcast message or with a request to a
directory at the home node?
I'm also interested in invalidation.
I would like to know if there is some mechanism to collect invalidations.
I mean in a directory protocol when a core wants to perform a write
operation an invalidation is sent to all sharers.
In a token protocol this is pratically done by every sharers responding
to a write request sending all its tokens for the specific cache block.
Is there a way to track this?
Thanks
Paolo
