Abstract

Embodiments of the invention relate to optimizing EDRAM refresh rates in a high performance cache architecture. A request is received from a requester to perform an operation on an I/O adapters. It is determined if the request is in a format other than a format supported by an I/O bus and if, the requester requires a completion response for the request. The request is transformed into the format supported by the I/O bus and is transmitted to the I/O adapter. The completion response is received from the I/O adapter, and includes an indicator that the request has been completed. The completion response is in the format supported by the I/O bus and is transmitted to the requester.
