A master computing unit reads the system memory through a read channel provided by the interconnect bus, without being delayed by the status checking of the flag. The host bridge controller executes a data detection command or a preset vendor command to issue a write request for programming data in a virtual address, to trigger a handshake between the host bridge controller and the system memory through the write channel. During the handshake, flag checking is achieved.
