  • Patent number: 6275876
    Abstract: A computing system includes a processing system, at least a first register, and a control system. The processing system generates a first instruction set and a first address for storing a first completion status for the first instruction set. The first register receives the first address from the processing system. The control system communicates the first instruction set received from the processing system to an external device. The control system receives the first completion status from the external device, accesses the first register to determine the first address for the first instruction set, and stores the first completion status in the determined first address.
