Abstract
A message channel optimization method and system enables multi-flow access to the message channel infrastructure within a CPU of a processor-based system. A user (pcode) employs a virtual channel to submit message channel transactions, with the message channel driver processing the transaction “behind the scenes”. The message channel driver thus allows the user to continue processing without having to block other transactions from being processed. Each transaction will be processed, either immediately or at some future time, by the message channel driver. The message channel optimization method and system are useful for tasks involving message channel transactions as well as non-message channel transactions.
