ABSTRACT:
A multiprocessor computer system releases a victim data buffer storing victim data, when system control logic determines that a count of the number of probe messages pending at a specified time equals the number of such probe messages that have had an address comparison performed after the specified time. The specified time occurs when a command to write the victim data element to main memory passes a serialization point of the computer system.
The address comparison compares a target address of a probe message with addresses of data stored in the victim data buffer and the associated cache of a CPU of the computer system.
