Abstract
A system for communicating information between requester and target devices in a computer having a multiple bus architecture. The system supports deferred transactions of cache line read requests over a host bus, e.g., the Pentium II or Pentium Pro (P6) bus. The system employs a host bridge to issue deferred transactions over the P6 bus without interrupting or involving the main processor. The system comprises a first device, electrically connected to the requester, which receives a request from the requester. The system further comprises a second device, electrically connected to the first device, which transmits the request with a defer enable signal over the P6 bus. The system further comprises a third device, electrically connected to the P6 bus, which communicates the request having a defer enable signal to the target.
