Abstract
A system and method for fast data transfers in an electronic network comprises a data transfer engine configured to independently execute data transfer instructions and a processor configured to forward the data transfer instructions to the data transfer engine. The data transfer engine preferably executes the data transfer instructions while the processor proceeds to execute a next instruction. The data transfer engine includes a transmit engine that executes transmit transfer instructions and a receive engine that executes receive transfer instructions. The transmit engine and the receive engine operate independently and thus may operate concurrently.
