A compound control/data channel connects an I/O bridge (IOB) and a data buffer unit (DBU) in a high performance I/O subsystem. Generally, data movements among an I/O bridge, data buffer unit, system bus and I/O bus are dominated by separate control signal groups issued from the I/O bridge. The compound...http://www.google.fr/patents/US6115551?utm_source=gb-gplus-shareBrevet US6115551 - System for minimizing the number of control signals and maximizing channel utilization between an I/O bridge and a data buffer
