Re: [Gems-users] state transitions in MOESI

["Dave Z." <zhu_dave@xxxxxxxxx>]

Other than store events in S state, store events in O
state trigger GETX events as well. I would say the
idea is to invalidate the other copies, but when a
GETX request is received, the local copy is sent to
the requestor. So, I still don't undertand why it's an
exclusive data request rather than an invalidation
message?

Thanks,

Dave
