9.1: Directory-based Cache Coherency


In this tutorial you will learn about directory-based cache coherency protocols. Given is the sketched system: A central directory is located near to the memory and each cache supports directory-based cache coherency. The communication is performed over a network (that is abstracted here). The directory implements the MSI protocol and stores the bitvector of all caches which share a cache line.

a)

In the following you find the initial state of the caches. Determine the entries of the directory from the local entries

b)

Explicit messages are exchanged between the caches and the directory. The following table contains all messages that are exchanged. Develop a MSI state diagram for the coherency protocol. Beside processor events external messages lead to state transitions. Messages are sent as actions during state transitions.

c)

Complete the message sequence charts of the coherency protocol starting from the initial state. Start from the initial state for each of the sequences separately. Also update the new states of the local caches and the directory.
