Method and device for the counting and management of asynchronous events emitted by peripheral devices in a data processing system

摘要

Method and device for application, counting and management of asynchronous events emanating from peripheral devices connected to a data processing system. This method enables the system to check and regulate the number of events transmitted to the logic for processing by constitution of tables and working queues managed by the firmware. This invention is applicable principally to input-output checkers associated with the computers.
