Abstract: Technical solutions are described for executing a computer instruction including an asynchronous operation. An example method includes computing parameters associated with the asynchronous operation, and transmitting a command for executing the asynchronous operation by an external device. The method also includes intercepting and storing, by an interface logic controller, the parameters associated with the asynchronous operation into one or more log registers. The method also includes receiving a response to the asynchronous operation. In response to the asynchronous operation being a success, executing a next instruction by the processing element. In response to the asynchronous operation being a failure, a processing element accesses the parameters from the log registers, and restarts the asynchronous operation using the parameters from the one or more log registers.

Abstract: Technical solutions are described for a supervisory processor to pass an out-of-band communication to a target processor in a multiprocessor system. For example, a first processor in a multi-processor system includes a register configured to store a command from a second processor of the multi-processor system, and to store a response to the command from the second processor. The first processor determines that the second processor has issued the command for execution by the first processor based on a first portion of the register being set to a first state, which is a predetermined state. The first processor also, responsively, reads the command from the second processor by parsing a second portion of the register. The first processor includes executes the command and stores the response for the command in the register.
