Zusammenfassung:A queue manager apparatus converts inbound commands of a first width into scalar format commands to be queued in a command queue. Furthermore, the queue manager converts the scalar format commands residing in the command queue into outbound commands of a second width for transmission. Converting inbound commands to scalar format commands and then converting the scalar format commands to a target width for transmission allows the queue manager to advantageously provide efficient and programmable command transmission between arbitrary processing units, regardless of potentially mismatched native command widths.
