Hi,

Can somebody give me a brief description of the following protocols:
           MESI_CMP_filter_directory

not sure

           MESI_SCMP_bankdirectory

A protocol with a single, interleaved shared L2 cache where directory
state of L1 sharers is stored in the L2 tags.  Single CMP only.

           MOESI_CMP_directory

A 2-level directory protocol.  Supports Multiple-CMP configurations.
Directory state at the second level is at memory.  Directory state at
the first level, to track L1 sharers, is at the interleaved L2 bank.

           MOSI_SMP_bcast


Broadcast snooping protocol that relies on an ordered switch.
