Abstract
A system and method to provide injection of important data directly into a processor's cache location when that processor has previously indicated interest in the data. The memory subsystem at a target processor will determine if the memory address of data to be written to a memory location associated with the target processor is found in a processor cache of the target processor. If it is determined that the memory address is found in a target processor's cache, the data will be directly written to that cache at the same time that the data is being provided to a location in main memory.
