    Abstract: A self-timed interface (STI) in which a clock signal clocks bit serial data onto a parallel, electrically conductive bus and the clock signal is transmitted on a separate line of the bus. The received data on each line of the bus is individualy phase aligned with the clock signal. The received clock signal is used to define boundary edges of a data bit cell individually for each line and the data on each line of the bus is individually phase adjusted so that, for example, a data transition position is in the center of the cell.

    Abstract: A method of performing an input/output (I/O) processing operation includes: generating an address control structure for each of a plurality of consecutive data transfer requests, each address control structure specifying a local channel memory location of a corresponding address control word (ACW); receiving a data transfer request from a network interface that includes addressing information specified by a corresponding address control structure; comparing, by a data router in the channel, an Offset field of an address control structure and an Expected Offset field of an ACW to determine whether the data transfer request has been received in the correct order; and based on determining that the data transfer request has been received in the correct order, accessing the ACW by the data router and routing the data transfer request to a host memory location specified in the ACW.

    Abstract: A method for performing an input/output (I/O) operation between a host computer (102) and control-unit (118) comprises obtaining information about the I/O operation from a channel subsystem (128) in the host system, the channel having a local processor and memory. An Address Control Word (ACW) (Fig 11) is generated and specifying the memory location and including a field for storing header information for use in one or more messages transmitted between the channel subsystem and the control unit. An address control structure (Fig 5) for each data transfer in the I/O operation is generated and forwarded to the network interface between the channel subsystem and I/O device and specifies a location in the local memory of the ACW. On receipt of an I/O command message via the network a data transfer request from the network interface is issued and includes addressing information. In response to a data store request including a header the data is routed to the memory location stored in the ACW and the header stored in the corresponding ACW. In response to a data read request including a header the data is retrieved from the host memory location specified in the ACW and header information is appended to the data.

    Abstract: A method for performing an input/output (I/O) operation between a host computer (102) and control-unit (118) comprises obtaining information about the I/O operation from a channel subsystem (128) in the host system, the channel having a local processor and memory. An Address Control Word (ACW) (Fig 11) is generated and specifying the memory location and having an error checking field is stored in the local memory. An address control structure (Fig 5) for each data transfer in the I/O operation is generated and forwarded to the network interface between the channel subsystem and I/O device and specifies a location in the local memory of the ACW. On receipt of an I/O command message via the network a data transfer request from the network interface is issued and includes addressing information. A data route in the channel compares the ACW error checking field and the address control structure error checking field and if they match, the corresponding ACW is retrieved and used to route the data transfer request to the host memory (106) specified in the ACW.
