  • Input/output data processing system
    Patent number: 4315310
    Abstract: An input/output processor architecture for providing an interface between peripheral subsystems and a generalized data processor. The interface processor enables data to be transferred between two address spaces (the generalized data processor address space and an external processor I/O address space) by mapping a portion of the I/O address space into a portion of the GDP address space. This mapping facility provides the peripheral subsystem with a "window" into the associated GDP subsystem. It accepts addresses within a certain subrange, or subranges, and translates them into references into one or more GDP data segments.A function-request facility provides a functional capability over certain objects within the GDP address space.
