BUS OPERATION
Figure 4-42
also shows the system asserting RDY# to indicate a non-burst line-fill cycle. Burst
cache line-fill cycles behave similarly to non-burst cache line-fill cycles when snooping using
BOFF#. If the system snoop hits the same line as the line being filled (burst or non-burst), the
Write-Back Enhanced IntelDX4 processor does not assert HITM# and does not issue a snoop
write-back cycle, because the line was not modified, and the line fill resumes upon the de-asser-
tion of BOFF#. However, the line fill is cached only if INV is driven low during the snoop cycle.
Snoop under BOFF# during Replacement Write-Back
If the system snoop under BOFF# hits the line that is currently being replaced (burst or non-
burst), the entire line is written back as a snoop write-back line, and the replacement write-back
cycle is not continued. However, if the system snoop hits a different line than the one currently
being replaced, the replacement write-back cycle continues after the snoop write-back cycle has
been completed.
Figure 4-43
shows a system snoop hit to the same line as the one being replaced
(non-burst).
