An input/output (I/O) controller (40) in an I/O system processes I/O requests from a host computer (15) to a plurality of I/O devices (80-86). The I/O controller (40) generates an interrupt to the host computer (15) and reports a plurality of completed I/O requests from the I/O devices (80-86) when at least one condition of the I/O system is met. A first condition of the I/O system comprises a predetermined ratio between the total number of unreported I/O completions by the I/O devices (80-86) and the total number of remaining I/O requests from the host computer (15). A second condition comprises the expiration of a timer, which starts when the number of remaining I/O requests left to process for any individual I/O device (80-86) reaches a predetermined minimum limit.

Ce module de commande (40) d'entrée/sortie (E/S), d'un système d'E/S, traite des demandes d'E/S entre un ordinateur hôte (15) et plusieurs dispositifs d'E/S (80-86) et il produit une interruption de l'ordinateur hôte (15) et rend compte de plusieurs demandes E/S exécutées, à partir des dispositifs I/O (80-86), lors de la rencontre d'au moins une condition du système d'E/S. Une première condition de ce système d'E/S comprend un rapport déterminé entre le nombre total d'exécutions d'E/S non signalées, effectuées par les dispositifs d'E/S (80-86), et le nombre total de demandes d'E/S restantes, provenant de l'ordinateur hôte (15). Une seconde condition consiste en l'expiration d'un temporisateur, lequel démarre lorsque le nombre de demandes d'E/S restantes, en attente de traitement, pour tout dispositif d'E/S (80-86), atteint une limite minimale déterminée.
