Process input/output interface device and -method for use in a digital computer.

摘要

A digital computer system includes at least one process, an input/output system and an input/output interface or input/output interface program/method. The process generates input/output requests and receives input/output responses. The input/output system performs input/output operations and generates completion notifications in response thereto. The input/output interface or input/output interface program/method generates input/output responses for the process in the order in which the process issued the input/output requests, to reduce the possibility of the process obtaining information from the order in which the input/output system processed input/output requests. <IMAGE>
