Abstract
A data transfer controller connected to a first digital interface of a computer system receives an instruction to prepare a plurality of non-contiguous data elements in a memory of the computer system for transfer to a peripheral device connected to the first digital interface. The data elements are read from the memory of the computer system via a plurality of gather transactions on a second digital interface. The second digital interface is connected to the data transfer controller and the memory. The second digital interface allows for use of a subset of overhead data of the first digital interface for the gather transactions. The data elements are written into a contiguous data block in a buffer. An indication that the contiguous data block is available for transfer from the buffer to the peripheral device via the first digital interface is provided to the peripheral device via the first digital interface.
