COMPUTER SYSTEM I/O NODE

摘要

A computer system I/O node. An input/output (20, 30, 40) for a computer system includes a first receiver unit (110) configured to receive a first command on a first communication path and a first transmitter unit (140) coupled to transmit a first corresponding command that corresponds to the first command on a second communication path. The input/output node also includes a second receiver unit (120) configured to receive a second command on a third communication path and a second transmitter (130) unit coupled to transmit a second corresponding command that corresponds to the second command on a fourth communication path. Further, the input/output node includes a bridge unit (150) coupled to receive selected commands from the first receiver and the second receiver and configured to transmit commands corresponding to the selected commands upon a peripheral bus (152).
