Abstract
An interface module connected to a storage controller and relaying communication between a host and the storage controller. The host and the storage controller use different communication protocols, include computing cores and a memory. At least one of the computing cores is a IO core in communication with the host, each of the IO cores has a virtual queue in the memory and the IO core is configured to execute a reception process of converting communication data including a command to the storage controller outputted by the host into a storage interface command and store the communication data in the virtual queue. The IO core executes a sending process for sending to the host by converting to communication data takes out a storage interface command from the virtual queue, and in same session, same IO core performs the reception process and the transmission process.
