ABSTRACT:
A system and method for asynchronously managing the issuance of program I/O store instructions from a high speed central processor to a multiplicity of relatively lower speed I/O adapter devices. An interface between the central processor and the I/O adapter devices includes a program I/O store queue, a state machine, and a token pool related in count to the concurrent processing capabilities of I/O controllers. The interface queue includes information for uniquely identifying program I/O store instructions by adapter device destination and user application program to manage error recovery. As preferably implemented, the interface system and method also distinctly manages program I/O instructions requiring synchronous execution, such as program I/O load instructions.
