摘要
A system and method for a multilevel region coherence protocol for use in Region Coherence Arrays (RCAs) deployed in clustered shared-memory multiprocessor systems which optimize cache-to-cache transfers (interventions) by using region hint bits in each RCA to allow memory requests for lines of a region of the memory to be optimally sent to only a determined portion of the clustered shared-memory multiprocessor system without broadcasting the requests to all processors in the system. A sufficient number of region hint bits are used to uniquely identify each level of the system's interconnect hierarchy to optimally predict which level of the system likely includes a processor that has cached copies of lines of data from the region.
