7.9.1 [10] <7.3> 
Considering the CC­NUMA system described in the Exercise 7.8, assume that the  system has 4 nodes, each with a single­core CPU (each CPU has its own L1 data  cache and L2 data cache). The L1 data cache is store­through, though the L2 data  cache is write­back. Assume that system has a workload where one CPU writes to  an address, and the other CPUs all read that data that is written. Also assume that  the address written to is initially only in memory and not in any local cache. Also,  after the write, assume that the updated block is only present in the L1 cache of the  core performing the write.
 For a system that maintains coherency using cache­based block  status, describe the inter­node traffic that will be generated as each of the 4 cores  writes to a unique address, after which each address written to is read from by each  of the remaining 3 cores.
