    Abstract: A method, system and program for controlling access to memory areas within a computer are provided. The invention comprises placing a first Bind Work Queue Element (WQE) at the head of a work queue, wherein the first Bind WQE defines parameters associated with a first Memory Window. A set of Work Requests is then placed on the work queue, behind the first Bind WQE wherein the work requests invoke operations that access the first Memory Window. A second Bind WQE is then placed on the work queue, behind the first set of Work Requests. This second Bind WQE defines parameters associated with a second Memory Window. A second set of Work Requests is placed on the work queue behind the second Bind WQE and invoke operations that access the second memory window. The Memory Windows can be associated with a common Memory Region and have different addresses and lengths or different access rights. In another embodiment, the first and second Memory Windows can be associated with different Memory Regions.
