Avoiding Livelock Using A Cache Manager in Multiple Core Processors
ActiveUS20080320230A1Failure can be causedMemory adressing/allocation/relocationSingle machine energy consumption reductionMulti-core processorConsistency management
Livelocks are prevented in multiple core processors by verifying that a data access request is still valid before sending messages to processor cores that may cause other data access requests to fail. A cache coherency manager receives data access requests from multiple processor cores. Upon receiving a data access request that may cause a livelock, the cache coherency manager first sends an intervention message back to the requesting processor core to confirm that this data access request will succeed. If the requesting processor core determines that the data access request is still valid, it directs the cache coherency manager to proceed with the data access request. The cache coherency manager may then send intervention messages to other processor cores to complete the data access request. If the requesting processor core determines that the data access request is invalid, it directs the cache coherency manager to abandon the data access request.

Avoiding Livelock Using Intervention Messages in Multiple Core Processors
ActiveUS20080320231A1Failure can be causedMemory architecture accessing/allocationMemory adressing/allocation/relocationData accessMulti-core processor
Livelocks are prevented in multiple core processors by canceling data access requests upon determining that they conflict with other data access requests. A requesting processor core sends a data access request potentially causing livelock to a cache coherency manager. A cache coherency manager receives data access requests from multiple processor. The cache coherency manager sends intervention messages to all of the processor cores in response to all data access requests that may cause livelock. Upon receiving an intervention message from the cache coherency manager, the processor core determines if the intervention message corresponds with any of its own pending data access requests. If the intervention message is associated with a data access request conflicting with one of its own pending data access requests, the processor core responds to the invention message by directing the cache coherency manager to cancel its own conflicting pending data access request.
