Abstract
A system and method of tracking multiple non-identification tagged requests in a system with multiple responders are disclosed. In one embodiment, an electronic memory system comprises a memory configured to implement a plurality of response queues, wherein one response queue is associated with one responder from a plurality of responders, and wherein a responder is a device capable of resolving the memory request. A tracking module is configured to assign identification information to a memory request that is received and store the identification information in one or more queues of the plurality of response queues; and to transmit the memory request to each responder that is associated with the one or more queues. A response module is configured to associate the identification information in the one or more queues with a response upon receiving the response from the one or more responders.
