Abstract
An apparatus comprising a plurality of IO queues and a logic circuit. The plurality of IO queues each may be configured to receive a respective IO request and present the IO request in response to a trigger signal. The logic circuit may be configured to (a) (i) receive one or more of the IO requests and (ii) serially coalesce the IO requests in response to a respective device identification (ID) of the IO requests, and (iii) present one or more of the coalesced IO requests as one or more respective context queue requests in response to the trigger signal and (b) generate the trigger signal when a current queue count is equal to a maximum queue depth.
