In a multiprocessor environment, each processor would have it's own cache memory, interfaced with the main memory, right? So, let's say there are two client processors P1 and P2. The caches C1 and C2 belong to P1 and P2 respectively. There will be some blocks from main memory in the cache memory of C1 and C2. My doubt is that, how would P1 know if for a particular block of main memory that is in C1, a copy of it exists in C2? Am I getting this wrong? Which part of the system actually oversees this MESI state transition diagram? Is it the main processor to which P1 and P2 are interfaced?
There is a common data bus in which cache writes are broadcasted to, all the processors can listen to and respond to the broadcast which is where the MESI protocol comes in
basically most designs have each core use its own L1 which is not shared by other cores. stackoverflow.com/questions/944966/how-are-cache-memories-shared-in-multicore-intel-cpus?
Thank you, it was helpful! But I think a memory write back should happening from M to I states as well (in the last example).
I don't agree: what's the point of writing back the value that is going to be overwritten again?
Crisp and to the point. Very good explanation

2 people are christiano ronaldo fans:p
Can you provide a reference or pdf file for more explanation?
you save my midterm
in the mesi cache coherence protocol in what state can a block be written to ?

Brief and nice explanation.
have one question : is the cache shared between all cores for exemple L1 is shared between core1 and core2 and so on and so forth ????
basically most designs have each core use its own L1 which is not shared by other cores.

Great Explanation
Clear and to the point...!!
great and simple explanation.
clear explanation
Awesome..
Great Job Bro...!!!
Thanks!
i don't quite understand ..
mas bro I am sorry to say, this is the easiest version in the internet I have come across.
@@advaitharmy yes that correct...this should be understood by all
cool lesson, but I think you have some problem with "sh" sound, bro
Good video.
