The present invention is directed to a transfer request block (TRB) cache system and method. A cache is used to store plural TRBs, and a mapping table is utilized to store corresponding TRB addresses in a system memory. A cache controller pre-fetches the TRBs and stores them in the cache according to the content of the mapping table.

Transfer request block cache system and method

The present invention is directed to a stream context cache system, which primarily includes a cache and a mapping table. The cache stores plural stream contexts, and the mapping table stores associated stream context addresses in a system memory. Consequently, a host may, according to the content of the mapping table, directly retrieve the stream context that is pre-fetched and stored in the cache, rather than read the stream context from the system memory.
