Abstract
The present disclosure includes systems and techniques relating to input/output (I/O) command aggregation for Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) enabled devices. In some implementations, a method can comprise receiving a first command for a target device, wherein the first command includes a first memory address and a first data transfer count; receiving a second command for the target device, wherein the second command includes a second memory address and a second data transfer count, and wherein the first and second commands are entirely read commands or entirely write commands; aggregating the first and second memory addresses and the first and second data transfer counts into consolidated command information; generating a packet command that includes a packet tag and a data size corresponding to the consolidated command information; communicating the packet command to the target device; in response to receiving a transfer ready notification from the target device, communicating the consolidated command information to the target device; and communicating additional information to the target device.
