FIELD: information technologies.
SUBSTANCE: conflict resolution method provides coherence so that all conflicts can be detected at least by one of the conflicting requesters if each node follows up all the requests after that node has made its own request. If the line is in Exceptional condition, Altered condition or in Transfer condition, the conflicts are resolved on the node containing a unique copy. That who has won conflict resolution, and perhaps those who have lost it, inform about conflict to the base node that connects in pairs the conflict reports and gives out transfer instructions for providing finally the reception of the requested data by all requesting nodes. If the requested cache line is either non-cached or is present only in Combined Use condition, the base node provides a cache node copy and resolves conflicts. As per one version, silent period, after all responses, and before confirmation message is received, allows all the conflicting nodes to be informed of the conflicts they are involved in.
EFFECT: providing conflict resolving mechanism.
