Summary: | A data fabric routes requests between the plurality of requestors and the plurality of responders. The data fabric includes a crossbar router, a coherent slave controller coupled to the crossbar router, and a probe filter coupled to the coherent slave controller and tracking the state of cached lines of memory. Power state control circuitry operates, responsive to detecting any of a plurality of designated conditions, to cause the probe filter to enter a retention low power state in which a clock signal to the probe filter is gated while power is maintained to the probe filter. Entering the retention low power state is performed when all in-process probe filter lookups are complete. |
