Abstract
A method for processing commands on a host channel adapter includes a host channel adapter receiving data from a host connected to the host channel adapter. The command includes an instruction, identification of packet data, and a length field. The host channel adapter extracts a length of the command from the length field, generates a scoreboard mask based on the length, where the scoreboard mask includes unused bits in the scoreboard preset, and sets, with each portion of the data received, a corresponding bit in a scoreboard. The host channel adapter further determines that the size of the data received for the command matches the length using the scoreboard, issues a kick on the host channel adapter when a size of the data received for the command matches the length, executes, in response to the kick, the instruction on a pipeline, and sends the packet data on a network.
