Abstract
Aspects of the embodiments are directed to systems and methods for providing and using hints in data packets to perform memory transaction optimization processes prior to receiving one or more data packets that rely on memory transactions. The systems and methods can include receiving, from a device connected to the root complex across a PCIe-compliant link, a data packet; identifying from the received device a memory transaction hint bit; determining a memory transaction from the memory transaction hint bit; and performing an optimization process based, at least in part, on the determined memory transaction.
