Glossary-5
Scan interface. The 603e’s test interface.
Slave. The device addressed by a master device. The slave is identified in the
address tenure and is responsible for supplying or latching the
requested data for the master during the data tenure.
Snooping. Monitoring addresses driven by a bus master to detect the need for
coherency actions.
Snoop push. Write-backs due to a snoop hit. The block will transition to an
invalid or exclusive state.
Split-transaction. A transaction with independent request and response
tenures.
Split-transaction Bus. A bus that allows address and data transactions from
different processors to occur independently.
Superscalar machine. A machine that can issue multiple instructions
concurrently from a conventional linear instruction stream.
Supervisor mode. The privileged operation state of the 603e. In supervisor
mode, software can access all control registers and can access the
supervisor memory space, among other privileged operations.
Tenure. The period of bus mastership. For the 603e, there can be separate
address bus tenures and data bus tenures. A tenure consists of three
phases: arbitration, transfer, termination
Transaction. A complete exchange between two bus devices. A transaction
is minimally comprised of an address tenure; one or more data
tenures may be involved in the exchange. There are two kinds of
transactions: address/data and address-only.
Transfer termination. Signal that refers to both signals that acknowledge the
transfer of individual beats (of both single-beat transfer and
individual beats of a burst transfer) and to signals that mark the end
of the tenure.

User mode. The unprivileged operating state of the 603e. In user mode,
software can only access certain control registers and can only access
user memory space. No privileged operations can be performed.
