ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for indicating when a device in a computer system is communicating with memory. Information is communicated between the device and memory in a manner that bypasses a bus. A side-band signal that indicates that this communication is transpiring is sent to a second device connected to the second bus. In response to this side-band signal, a bit in a register of the second device is set to a value that is then communicated by way of the second bus.
