  • Apparatus and method for communicating the completion of asynchronous input/output
    Patent number: 6711644
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for communicating the completion of asynchronous I/O requests is provided. In particular, the apparatus and method make use of a new function call which is capable of waiting for a predetermined number of I/O requests to be completed prior to returning to the calling application. Control blocks for the I/O requests are updated after a predetermined number of I/O requests have been completed, i.e. in a process context rather than in an interrupt context as in the known systems. In this way, the overhead associated with known asynchronous I/O system calls is reduced.
