Abstract
A computer peripheral device includes a host interface, which is configured to communicate over a bus with a host processor and with a system memory of the host processor. Processing circuitry in the peripheral device is configured to receive and execute work items submitted to the peripheral device by client processes running on the host processor, and responsively to completing execution of the work items, to write completion reports to the system memory, including first completion reports of a first data size and second completion reports of a second data size, which is smaller than the first data size.
