Type: article
Abstract: Proactive flush logic in a computing system is configured to perform a proactive flush operation to flush data from a first memory in a first computing device to a second memory in response to execution of a non-blocking flush instruction. Reactive flush logic in the computing system is configured to, in response to a memory request issued prior to completion of the proactive flush operation, interrupt the proactive flush operation and perform a reactive flush operation to flush requested data from the first memory to the second memory.
