Abstract
A transfer controller with hub and ports is viewed as a communication hub between the various locations of a global memory map. A request queue manager serves as a crucial part of the transfer controller. The request queue manager receives these data transfer request packets from plural transfer requests nodes. The request queue manager sorts transfer request packets by their priority level and stores them in the queue manager memory. The request queue manager processes dispatches transfer request packets to a free data channel based upon priority level and first-in-first-out within priority level.
