ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods for coherency filtering are disclosed. A system may comprise a coherency filter that provides information identifying a coherency domain for data in an associated address space based on an identifier for the data. A snoop engine is configured to snoop for the data in the identified coherency domain based on the information and the identifier.
