Abstract
The intensive I/O generated by multimedia devices and delivered
over fast networks requires a new approach to I/O system software design
for workstation operating systems. In general, the system should provide
more flexibility in how devices are controlled and in constructing the
data paths used for data transfer. The author argues for the separation
of control and data transfer as a general design principle, and
describes how I/O bus bandwidth can be used more efficiently through
direct connections between I/O devices
