Abstract
A data processing system and a method of data processing are provided. The system comprises a first data processing agent, a second data processing agent, and a third data processing agent. Each of the second and third data processing agents have access to one or more caches. A messaging mechanism conveys a message from the first data processing agent to one of the second and third data processing agents specified as a message destination agent in the message. A stashing manager monitors the messaging mechanism and selectively causes data associated with the message to be cached for access by the message destination agent in a cache of the one or more caches in dependence on at least one parameter associated with the message and at least one stashing control parameter defined for a link from the first data processing agent to the message destination agent.
