Abstract
Systems and techniques to track deferred data transfers on a system-interconnect bus. A deferral response initiates storage of information corresponding to the response and tracking of progress for a requested data transfer. A master device, such as a bus adapter, may include a split-transaction repository, timers, and a split-transaction monitor. The master device may include both hardware and firmware components, and may be designed to handle split responses as defined by a Peripheral Component Interconnect Extended standard.
