Summary:This application relates in general to multi-processor computer systems and in particular to a coherency ordering queue for memory operations, including write operations. The coherent ordering queue in a processing agent chip in a multi-node processor system is designed so as to permit maximum flexibility with the various write operations of different processors, while decreasing the queue depth and increasing queue width for increased efficiency in searching and processing the queue.
