Abstract
Re-sequencing commands and data between a master and slave device utilizing parallel processing is disclosed. When utilizing parallel processing while reading and writing data, there is a chance that the data will be read or written in an improper order, given the time delays associated with different slave devices and the processing time associated with various commands. Therefore, to retain the speed and improved performance of parallel processing while maintaining data coherency, the instructions and data are re-sequenced and processed in the proper order, and the returned data are re-sequenced and returned to the processor in the proper order.
