System for high-speed low-latency inter-system communications via channel-to-channel adapters or similar devices

摘要

In one embodiment, a system includes at least one outgoing transmission engine implemented in hardware, wherein the at least one outgoing transmission engine is for transmitting data in the plurality of buffers queued to the at least one outgoing transmission engine to the intersystem transmission medium, and a memory for storing the plurality of buffers, wherein each of the buffers queued to the at least one outgoing transmission engine is dequeued after the data is transmitted therefrom and requeued to an available buffer queue. In another embodiment, a system includes the above, except that it includes one or more incoming reception engines instead of outgoing transmission engines. In another embodiment, a method includes buffering data to be sent out by executing a loop of commands on an intersystem communication device and disconnecting the buffers after data has been transferred.

1. A system comprising:
at least one outgoing, transmission engine implemented in hardware, wherein the at least one outgoing transmission engine is for transmitting data in a plurality of buffers queued to the at least one outgoing transmission engine to an intersystem transmission medium; and a memory for storing the plurality of buffers, wherein each of the buffers queued to the at least one outgoing transmission engine is dequeued after the data is transmitted therefrom and requeued to an available buffer queue, wherein the intersystem transmission medium is comprised of at least one of an optical fiber cable, a wireless radio frequency infrastructure, and an electrical cable, and wherein each of the buffers queued to the at least one outgoing transmission engine is dequeued in response to the data being transmitted therefrom and requeued to an available buffer queue.
