Abstract
A method, processing node, and computer readable medium for propagating data using mirrored lock caches are disclosed. The method includes coupling a first mirrored lock cache associated with a first processing node to a bus that is communicatively coupled to at least a second mirrored lock cache associated with a second processing node in a multi-processing system. The method further includes receiving, by the first mirrored lock cache, data from a processing node. The data is then mirrored automatically so that the same data is available locally at the second mirrored lock cache for use by the second processing node.
