ABSTRACT:
A shared memory multiprocessor having a packet switched bus for transferring data between a plurality processors, I/O devices, cache memories and main memory employs a bus protocol which permits multiple copies of data to be updated under the control of different processors while still ensuring that all processors and all I/O devices have access to consistent values for all data at all times.
