11. Cache Organization, Operation, and Coherency
11.9 Maintaining Coherency on Loads and Stores
Cache coherency protocols maintain data consistency throughout a multiprocessor environment. Table 11-6 lists the coherency effects of load and store operations on primary and secondary cache states in a multiprocessor environment (using an R4000MC processor).
