It allows host CPU to access shared memory on accelerator devices with a cache coherent protocol. The CXL Specification 1.1 was released in June, 2019. On November 10, 2020, the CXL Specification 2.0 was released.
A cache coherence protocol is used to maintain cache coherency. The two main types are snooping and directory-based protocols. Cache coherence is of particular relevance in multiprocessing systems, where each CPU may have its own local cache of a shared memory resource. Coherent caches: The value in all the caches' copies is the same.
The MESI protocol is an invalidate-based cache coherence protocol, and is one of the most common protocols that support write-back caches.It is also known as the Illinois protocol due to its development at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. [1]
– The cache is set M (D) if the "shared line" is off, otherwise is set O (SD). All the other copies are set S (V) Cache in E (R) or M (D) state (exclusiveness) – The write can take place locally without any other action. The state is set (or remains) M (D) Write Miss – Write Allocate – Read with Intent to Modified operation
A cache line in the O state is dirty and must be written back to memory before being discarded. The F state in the MESIF protocol is simply a way to choose one of the sharers of a clean cache line to respond to a read request for data using a direct cache-to-cache transfer instead of waiting for the data to come from the main memory.
Bus snooping or bus sniffing is a scheme by which a coherency controller (snooper) in a cache (a snoopy cache) monitors or snoops the bus transactions, and its goal is to maintain a cache coherency in distributed shared memory systems. This scheme was introduced by Ravishankar and Goodman in 1983, under the name "write-once" cache coherency. [1]

UPI is a low-latency coherent interconnect for scalable multiprocessor systems with a shared address space.It uses a directory-based home snoop coherency protocol with a transfer speed of up to 10.4 GT/s.
