Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for processing concurrent extended copy commands. One embodiment can include a method for processing multiple extended copy commands that comprises receiving at least two extended copy commands that specify the same destination device, reading data from source devices specified in the extended copy commands; and writing data to the destination device in the order the data is received from the source devices, wherein the data written to the destination device comprises intermingled data corresponding to the multiple threads. Thus, embodiments of the present invention can interleave data from multiple threads to a destination device.
