ABSTRACT:
In some embodiments, a memory transaction is received that was sent over an unordered interconnect. A determination is made as to whether an address conflict exists between the memory transaction and another memory transaction. If the address conflict exists the memory transaction is forwarded only after waiting until the conflict is resolved. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
