Abstract
Systems and methods relate to a bus adapter for a storage network. The bus adaptor includes a context memory comprising a first storage for uncacheable exchange resource indicators (XRI) and a second storage for cacheable XRI. The bus adapter also includes a host backing store unit configured to provide access to the different tier memories present locally or externally in the host memory extension using several caching sub-units and with the capability of an optional pinning operation for the cacheable XRI based upon at least one of input/output phase, first in line up to a limit, a region of a virtual context address associated with the cacheable XRI indicators, a protocol associated with the cacheable XRI, a size of a transaction, or work queue information.
