Abstract
A system allows queuing interconnect transactions of a first transaction type and a second transaction type according to an interconnect protocol for a computer system in a transaction order queue (TOQ). The queuing technique imposes an additional ordering on interconnect transactions in addition to ordering rules of the interconnect protocol. Transactions can bypass the TOQ if no transactions of the first type are awaiting execution or are in the TOQ. Transactions are dequeued from the TOQ if no transactions of either the first transaction type or the second transaction type are awaiting scheduling for execution.
