Abstract:
Topology of clusters of processors of a computer configuration, configured to support any of a plurality of cache coherency protocols, is discovered at initialization time to determine which one of the plurality of cache coherency protocols is to be used to handle coherency requests of the configuration

Claim (Index 10):
The computer implemented method according to  claim 2 , wherein the performing the operation, by a respective element, to identify which other elements are active in the configuration is performed by firmware of the respective element, wherein the performing the operation further comprises determining, by the SC function, whether the node of the SC function includes other clusters and whether the node is communicatively coupled to other nodes,\n wherein each cluster is configured to broadcast cache line fetches for cache lines that miss in all caches of a respective cluster to all other clusters and an SC function of the configuration by way of respective active first interfaces, wherein the SC function is configured to use the inclusive cache directory to provide, to each cluster, state information about a target cache line of the broadcast cache line fetch based on the coherency value being a coherency value of a cluster having at least one first interface connected by an active interconnection to another cluster and at least one first interface connected by an active interconnection to the SC function, wherein the after system initialization, during normal operation, the method further comprises, based on the coherency value being a coherency value of a cluster having at least one first interface connected by an active interconnection to another cluster and at least one first interface connected by an active interconnection to an SC function, broadcasting cache line fetches for cache lines that miss in all caches of a respective cluster to all other clusters and the SC function of the configuration by way of respective active first interfaces; and\n using, by the SC function, an inclusive cache directory to provide, to each cluster, state information about a target cache line of the broadcast cache line fetch.
