System, Apparatus And Methods For Handling Consistent Memory Transactions According To A CXL Protocol

Abstract:

In one embodiment, an apparatus includes: an interface to couple a plurality of devices of a system and enable communication according to a Compute Express Link (CXL) protocol. The interface may receive a consistent memory request having a type indicator to indicate a type of consistency to be applied to the consistent memory request. A request scheduler coupled to the interface may receive the consistent memory request and schedule it for execution according to the type of consistency, based at least in part on a priority of the consistent memory request and one or more pending consistent memory requests. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
