ABSTRACT:
A data management mechanism for a processor system provides for management of data with minimum data transfer between processes executing work requests. Each process has storage areas for storing data associated with work requests. The data is described with descriptor elements in the work requests which indicate the location and length of segments of the data. Data is transferred to a process only if it is required for execution of a work request. Further work requests can be generated by a process executing a work request which reference the data without the process actually receiving the data. The segments of data may reside in storage areas of different processors with the descriptor elements of a work request defining a logical data stream.
