DATA TRANSFER MANAGEMENT METHOD, SOFTWARE AND SYSTEM

摘要

The present is that the provided method of managing data transfers between a base component and at least one extension component on a computer system. The extension component can store data received within an extension component data store and then subsequently transfer this data to a processor integrated within the base component using a communications channel. The processor can then process the data transferred and subsequently transfer references to the data stored in the extension component data store using the communications channel. Preferably the base component also includes a processor data store used to provide an equivalent copy of data held within the extension component data store.
