BUS TRANSACTIONS AND OPERATIONS
.
5.2.3.6.4.
Sync
An agent issues a Sync Transaction to indicate that it has written back all modified lines in its
internal caches to memory and then invalidated its internal caches. If software wants to guaran-
tee that other processors are also synchronized, it must do so via APIC IPIs. The Pentium Pro
processor generates a Sync Transaction on executing a WBINVD instruction.
5.2.3.6.5.
Flush Acknowledge
A caching agent issues a Flush Acknowledge Transaction when it has completed a cache sync,
and flush operation in response to an earlier FLUSH# signal activation. If FLUSH# pin is bussed
to N agents, the Central Agent must expect N Flush Acknowledge transactions.
5.2.3.6.6.
Stop Grant Acknowledge
An agent issues a Stop Grant Acknowledge Transaction when it enters Stop Grant mode.
The agent continues to respond to RESET#, BINIT#, ADS#, and FLUSH# while in Stop Grant
mode. The Pentium Pro processor powers down its caches in the Stop Grant mode to minimize
its power consumption and generates a delayed snoop response on an external bus snoop
request.
5.2.3.6.7.
SMI Acknowledge
An agent issues an SMI Acknowledge Transaction when it enters the System Management
Mode handler. SMMEM# (Ab[7]#) is first asserted at this entry point. It remains asserted for all
transactions issued by the agent. An agent issues another SMI Acknowledge Transaction when
it exits the System Management Mode handler. SMMEM# (Ab[7]#) is first deasserted at this exit
point.
