operations and maintains coherency between the primary caches and main memory. Figure 8-2 shows how

8.3 60x Bus Protocol Overview
Typically, 60x bus accesses consist of address and data tenures, which in turn each consist of three
phases—arbitration, transfer, and termination, as shown in Figure 8-3.. The independence of the tenures is
indicated by showing the data tenure overlap the next address tenure, which allows split-bus transactions
to be implemented at the system level in multiprocessor systems. Figure 8-3 shows a data transfer that
consists of a single-beat transfer of as many as 256 bits. Four-beat burst transfers of 32-byte cache blocks
