Abstract

A new computer architecture that includes an information management executive for coupling memory based peripheral storage units to a computer operating system that typically uses I/O commands for addressing peripheral storage units is disclosed. The information management executive includes an I/O executive, a memory mapping executive and a memory mapper. According to the principles of this invention, the information management executive receives both I/O mapped commands and memory mapped commands from the operating system and either retrieves or stores the information specified in the operating system command in the memory of a memory based peripheral storage unit.
