ABSTRACT:
A multi-processor system includes a requesting node that provides a first request for data to a home node. The requesting node being operative to provide a second request for the data to at least one predicted node in parallel with first request. The requesting node receives at least one coherent copy of the data from at least one of the home node and the at least one predicted node.
