摘要: A multiprocessing computer system employs local and global address spaces Non- Uniform Memory Architecture (NUMA) Cache-Only (COMA) access modes. The architecture a plurality of processing nodes. When node initiates memory transaction, the determines whether transaction is or physical address. If address, NUMA coherency request initiated. Alternatively, if COMA nodes additionally include to translation units. units are configured translate corresponding prior initiating request.
