摘要: Piggy-back snoops are used for non-coherent memory transactions in distributed processing systems. Coherent and received from a plurality of cores within system. Non-coherent snoop information the is combined with coherent to form expanded messages. The messages then output bus interconnect during cycles As such, when monitor interconnect, receive along same cycle. While this piggy-backing uses an usage bandwidth significantly reduced thereby improving overall performance
