ABSTRACT:
The flow of work requests in a server driven process to process communication environment is described. A mechanism is provided to facilitate work consistent with the server driven architecture when bus units do not have adequate DMA capabilities. Two ways of reversing control of transfer of work requests and data so that the server need not have master DMA capability are presented. Management of storage in a remote processor is used to transfer work and its associated data into storage accessible by a bus unit with slave DMA capability. The slave DMA bus unit then transfers the information into storage is manages. In another way of reversing the flow, a bus unit message is used to make the original server a requestor. The bus unit message contains information which varies the request sent by the requestor. In this manner, the server, which was the original requestor transfers information using its master DMA capability flow.
