Subject: [Gems-users] MOSI_SMP_bcast : inclusion between L1 and L2
Hi everyone,

I have been studying MOSI_SMP_bcast protocol and I found out that in this protocol, it doesn't maintain the inclusion property between L1 and L2, instead they maintain exclusion property. So, if line is in L1 cache it cant be in L2 cache and coherence state is maintained in both level caches. Please correct me if I am wrong.
 
I would like to change this property to make it inclusive. Is there any simple and faster way to change MOSI_SMP_bcast to have inclusion property? What should I consider when doing this changes because I am very much new to this slicc language.

Thanks in advance.
