Allocating multiple buffers in a bridge between two PCI buses

摘要

A computer system includes a first device on the first data bus, a second device on the second data bus, and a bridge device that delivers requests for data from the first device to the second device and returns the requested data to the first device. The bridge device includes a first data storage buffer that stores data requested by the first device during the first request, and a second data buffer that simultaneously stores data requested by the first device during a second request. <IMAGE>
