NETWORK ENTITIES AND METHODS PERFORMED THEREIN FOR HANDLING CACHE COHERENCY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18446463 titled 'NETWORK ENTITIES AND METHODS PERFORMED THEREIN FOR HANDLING CACHE COHERENCY

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method used in a disaggregated data center architecture where computing resources are separated into discrete resource pools and combined to form a functional server.

The method involves a coordinating entity that obtains a setup of processor cores that are logically connected to form the functional server.
The coordinating entity determines an index that represents the identity of a cache coherency domain based on the obtained setup of processor cores.
One or more communicating entities associated with the obtained setup of processor cores are configured by the coordinating entity to use the determined index when handling updated cache related data.

Original Abstract Submitted

A method performed by a coordinating entity in a disaggregated data center architecture wherein computing resources are separated in discrete resource pools and associated together to represent a functional server. The coordinating entity obtains a setup of processor cores that are coupled logically as the functional server, and determines an index indicating an identity of a cache coherency domain based on the obtained setup of processor cores. The coordinating entity further configures one or more communicating entities associated with the obtained setup of processor cores, to use the determined index when handling updated cache related data.
