Abstract

A method and system of expediting issuance of a second request of a pair of ordered requests into a distributed coherent communication fabric. The first request of the ordered pair is issued into the coherent communication fabric and directed to a first target. Issuance of the second request into the coherent communication fabric is stalled until the first target receives and orders the first request and transmits a response acknowledging the same.
