Abstract:
1. A storage control device adapted to be coupled to a host processing device through a full-duplex channel, the storage control device comprising: a channel controller adapted to be coupled to the host processing device via the channel; a cache memory for temporarily storing data received from the host processing device; and a storage medium for storing data from the cache memory, wherein the channel controller includes at least two processors for processing write-in and read-out commands issued by the host processing device, and when a ratio between a first amount of data to be read from the host processing device through a receiving channel of the full-duplex channel and a second amount of data to be written to the host processing device through a transmitting channel of the full-duplex channel becomes greater than a predetermined threshold, the channel controller controls processing to assign the lesser of the first amount and the second amount to the at least two processors.
