Abstract

A method and system are provided for transferring information between multiple buses. Information is transferred through a first bus between multiple first bus devices. Information is transferred through a second bus between multiple second bus devices. Information is transferred through logic between the first and second buses. Using the logic, an action of a first bus device is enabled in response to a condition in which a second bus device waits for the action while the first bus device waits for a separate action on the second bus.
