Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a computer-implemented method for controller address contention assumption. A non-limiting example computer-implemented method includes a shared controller receiving a fetch request for data from a first requesting agent, the receiving via at least one intermediary controller. The shared controller performs an address compare using a memory address of the data. In response to the memory address matching a memory address stored in the shared controller, the shared controller acknowledges the at least one intermediary controller's fetch request, wherein upon acknowledgement, the at least one intermediary controller resets. In response to release of the data by a second requesting agent, the shared controller transmits the data to the first requesting agent.
