Abstract
The present invention is directed to a system and method for eliminating race conditions in RAID controllers while utilizing a high bandwidth internal architecture for data flow. A remote memory controller of the present invention may ensure that an acknowledge signal is sent only after a memory operation has been actually completed. This may provide for remote direct memory access without coherency problems and data corruption problems while a high bandwidth data flow internal architecture is being utilized.
