Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A technique for performing cache injection in a processor system includes monitoring, by a cache, addresses on a bus. Input/output data associated with an address of a data block stored in the cache is then requested from a remote node, via a network controller. Ownership of the input/output data is acquired by the cache when an address on the bus that is associated with the input/output data corresponds to the address of the data block stored in the cache.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of performing cache injection in a processor system, comprising: detecting, by a cache, a specific instruction sequence that includes multiple instructions, wherein one of the multiple instructions is a load instruction to a first address and another one of the multiple instructions is a compare instruction; monitoring, by the cache, addresses on a bus in response to detecting the specific instruction sequence multiple times; requesting, from a…
