Abstract
A bridge device for delivering data transactions between devices on two data buses in a computer system includes, for each pair of devices that may transact across the bridge device, a dedicated storage area that aids in completing transactions between the devices in the pair. The bridge device also includes a controller that allows transactions in one dedicated storage area to be completed without regard to the completion of earlier-issued transactions in another dedicated storage area.
