Abstract
A method and apparatus for transferring data from a first memory location to a second memory location in a computer system. A load instruction is executed, and, in response, data is transferred from a first memory location to a second memory location during a single bus transaction. During the same bus transaction, a request is made to invalidate a copy of the data that is stored in a third memory location if the load instruction indicates to do so.
