Abstract
A computer system includes a first device on a first data bus, a second device on a second data bus, and a bridge device that delivers data transactions between the two devices. The bridge device includes an execution queue that stores only a higher priority transaction and transactions initiated before the higher priority transaction, and a controller that selects transactions from the execution queue to be completed on one of the data buses.
