Abstract

See full text

A method and system are provided for maintaining memory coherency. A first device stores information. A second device is coupled to the first device. The second device inputs at least a portion of the information and outputs an indication that the portion is not to be cached by the second device. Rather than initializing other devices to 'know' in advance that a cache memory is absent from a given device, a control signal indicates the device's intent to not cache the requested portion of information in a cache memory.
