Abstract
A data processor includes a fabric-attached memory (FAM) interface for coupling to a data fabric and fulfilling memory access instructions. A requestor-side adaptive consistency controller coupled to the FAM interface requests notifications from a fabric manager for the fabric-attached memory regarding changes in requestors authorized to access a FAM region which the data processor is authorized to access. If a notification indicates that more than one requestor is authorized to access the FAM region, fences are activated for selected memory access instructions in a local application.
