The method and apparatus provides a data processing system. The data processing system includes a primary bus, a secondary bus, and a host processor connected to the primary bus. The data processing system includes a first secondary processor connected to the primacy bus and the secondary bus. Additionally, a second secondary processor is connected to the secondary bus. The first secondary processor and the second secondary processor forms cascaded processors for input/output functions. Selected functions normally performed by the second secondary processor are performed by the first secondary processor, wherein a division of workload increases performance of the data processing system. This architecture allows shifting of workload down to the secondary bus.
