Abstract

A computer system is provided. The computer system includes a host processor (HP), a system memory (SM), and an input/output (I/O) master device to perform a read of a continuous stream of data to the SM. The computer system also includes a bridge coupled to the HP, SM, and I/O master device. The bridge reads ahead to the SM when the I/O master device reads a continuous stream of data from the SM. The bridge aborts read ahead accesses to the SM, prior to an access commit point to the SM, responsive to disengagement of the I/O master device.
