摘要: A host system is provided with one or more host-fabric adapters installed therein for connecting to a switched fabric of data network. The adapter comprises micro-controller subsystem configured establish connections and support transfers via the fabric, serial interface which provides an fabric. includes Micro-Engine (ME) executes ME instruction send source destination addresses during control cycle, logic blocks supply addressed from designated sources at same time execution cycle subsequent cycle.
