Abstract
An information handling system transfers command blocks between a host processing side having a host processing unit and a host memory, and a local processing side having a local processing unit and a local memory. The local memory includes a command address queue portion for queuing local command address images containing the local addresses of the command blocks. A command block transfer controller is responsive to the local command address images for storing the transferred command block into a corresponding portion of the local memory.
