Abstract
Included are embodiments for facilitating operation of an input/output (I/O) link. At least one embodiment of a method includes receiving a first cache line from a memory controller and determining whether the first cache line corresponds to a first portion of data. Some embodiments include, when the first cache line corresponds to the first portion of data, determining whether a second cache line is received and when the second cache line is not received, processing the first cache line. Similarly, some embodiments include when the first cache line does not correspond to the first portion of data, waiting for a cache line that does correspond to the first portion of data.
