A DATA FLOW CONTROL MECHANISM FOR A BUS SUPPORTING TWO-AND THREE-AGENT TRANSACTIONS

摘要

A data flow control mechanism (122) for a bus supporting two-and three-agent transactions includes a control logic (108) to place an indication of a request onto a computer system bus. The agent placing the indication on the bus then waits to place data corresponding to the request onto the bus until it has received an indication from another agent coupled to the bus that the other agent is ready to receive the data.
