    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attain the burst transfer of processor data to an I/O device by performing the intermediate cache emulation logic to snatch and process the processor commands requesting the communication with the I/O device. SOLUTION: The processors 10a to 10c control the accesses to a system memory card 46 and an I/O mezzanine bus 36 for a memory/I/O bus controller 30. The bus 36 is connected to one or more I/O bridges 40 via the data links 38a and 38b. The bridges 40 snatch the trigger commands, and the processors 10a to 10c request the communication with an I/O device 60. The I/O bridges 40a and 40b perform the intermediate cache emulation logic to attain the emulation type cache burst transfer of data to the device 60 via an I/O bus 50.
