<p>A modular software control system for an I/O subsystem. A central group of software modules are made to be hardware-independent, with interface modules translating from the host hardware configuration and the I/O subsystem hardware configuration. I/O commands are accomplished using a series of specialized threads (44), with each thread performing a particular function. An appropriate group of threads are assembled for each I/O command, the group being a 'net'.</p> |
