Wiki: SCI. The IEEE Scalable Coherent Interface is a superset of the SSCI protocol we have been considering in class. A lot has been written about it, but it is still difficult to comprehend. Using SSCI as a starting point, explain why additional states are necessary, and give (or cite) examples that demonstrate how they work. Ideally, this would still be an overview of the working of the protocol, referencing more detailed documentation on the Web.
