Inter-subsystem communication system

摘要

A communication system operation between computer systems which realizes highly efficient data transfer in a data processing system has sender and receiver subsystems operating under the control of an independent or common operating system. The communication system also includes: a plurality of sending buffers, a sending buffer address table having a plurality of entries and a buffer control block in the sender subsystem and a plurality of receiving buffers, a receiving buffer address table having a plurality of entries and a buffer control block in the receiver subsystem, and the communication path for transferring the data stored in the sending buffer to the receiving buffer.
