摘要: In one embodiment, the present invention includes a processor having at least core and uncore logic. The logic can include home agent to act as guard control access memory region. Either in or another portion of logic, directory cache may be provided store ownership information for region owned by an coupled processor. this way, when request misses cache, transaction avoided. Other embodiments are described claimed.
