CPSC 410 / 611 : Operating Systems Where is t he Cont rol of I / O Funct ions? • Processor direct ly cont rols device. • Cont roller or I / O module is added. Processor uses programmed I / O wit hout int er r upt s. • Same, but wit h int errupt s. • The I / O module is given direct cont rol of memory via DMA. • I / O module is separat e processor, wit h special inst ruct ion set and access t o memory t o execut e I / O program. No CPU int ervent ion. • I / O module has local memory of it s own. Can cont r ol sever al I / O devices. • I nt elligent I / O (I 2 O). • Dat a-near comput at ion: port ions of applicat ions are migrat ed t o I / O cont rollers. • TCP of f load: Run prot ocols on net work int erf ace card. • TAMU-PANI C (Prot ocols Aboard Net work I nt erf ace Cards) proj ect : port ions of applicat ion run in net work int erf ace cards.

CPSC 410 / 611 : Operating Systems Windows Driver Model (WDM) Drivers • Bus Drivers manage logical or physical bus (PCMCI A, PCI , USB, I EEE 1394, I SA). I nt erf aces t o – PnP Manager -- t o det ect and inf orm about devices at t ached t o bus. – Power Manager -- t o cont rol power set t ings of devices on bus. • Function Drivers manage part icular t ype of device. Export s operat ional int erf ace of device. • Filter Drivers logically layer above or below f unct ion drivers. – Augment or modif y behavior of device or anot her driver. Device Driver Layering Environment subsystem or DLL 1. NtWriteFile(file_handle, char_buffer) System Services 2. Write data at specified I/O byte offset within a file manager File system driver 3. Transfer file-relative byte offset into a disk-relative byte offset and call next driver (via I/O manager) disk driver 4. Call driver to write data at disk-relative byte offset 5. Translate disk-relative byte offset into physical location and transfer data. 6
