Abstract: Disclosed approaches eliminate involving a bus interface in polling by the host computer system and the peripheral component for events to coordinate direct memory access (DMA) transfers. The host polls main memory for DMA events communicated by the peripheral component, and the peripheral component polls local registers for DMA addresses to initiate DMA transfers. DMA transfers are initiated by the host storing main memory addresses in the local registers of the peripheral component, and DMA events generated by the peripheral component are stored in the main memory.
