Please answer the following problems:

a. Add a clean exclusive state to the basic snooping cache coherence protocol (Figure 5.6). Show the protocol in the finite state machine format used in the figure.

b. Add an “owned” state to the protocol of part (a) and describe using the same finite state machine format used in Figure 5.6.
