- Directory-Based Cache Coherence - csg. csail. mit. edu
Directory Organization Requirement: Directory needs to keep track of all the cores that are sharing a cache block Challenge: For each block, the space needed to hold the list of sharers grows with number of possible sharers
- Lecture 18: Snooping vs. Directory Based Coherency
– Cache size is 128 KB, 2-way set associative, with 64B blocks (cover longer latency) – Ocean : only the boundaries of the subgrids are shared Since the boundaries change as we increase the processor count (for a fixed size problem), different amounts of the grid become shared

The size and associativity of the Snoop Filter was documented by Intel in their presentation at ISSCC in 2018 (https: doi org 10 1109 ISSCC 2018 8310170), reporting 2048 sets per active "tile" and 12-way associativity
- Snoop Filters - IXPUG
The Snoop Filter has enough capacity to track all lines in the L1 and L2 caches – but only if the addresses are distributed “uniformly enough” over the available entries Each Snoop Filter can track more than its “fair share”: MiB (=1 28 of 28 1MiB caches), but cannot track all
- How to achieve cross-host cache coherence using CXL 3. 0 HDM-DB
Therefore, the size of the snoop filter is one of the key aspects in designing DCOH However, since the size of the directory for snoop filters is limited, when it becomes full, we need to find a victim entry (SF victim), invalidate its corresponding cache line, and make space for placing new entries
- Number of directory blocks while creating PDS -IBM Mainframes
As a guideline for determining the number of directory blocks you will need for a PDS, figure on 6 entries per directory block if the data set is a load module library or if it will be edited with the ISPF editor Otherwise, allow for 16 entries per directory block
- Documentation – Arm Developer
Arm recommends that you configure the snoop filter directory to be 0 75-1 times the total size of exclusive caches of processors that are attached to the CCI-500 The snoop filter is 8-way set associative and, to minimize conflicts, stores twice as many tags as the configured size
- Snoop Filter - Arteris
Arteris Ncore uses directory-based snoop filters, which are designed to be highly scalable and significantly reduce snoop traffic in larger systems Ncore implements a snoop-filter that offers multiple directory-based snoop filters, each assignable to specific PEs that may have common characteristics, maximizing efficiency and area compared to
