Implementing Strong Consistency: update
•Idea #1: when a store to address x occurs, update all the remote cached copies

–Or to keep a list of which remote caches hold the cache line
–Or at least keep a note of whether there are any remote cached copies of this line
•But first…how well does this update idea work?
