摘要： Data transfer to computing elements (14a, 14b) is synchronized in a computer system (10) that includes the computing elements and controllers (12) that provide data from data sources to the computing elements. A request for data from a computing element (14a, 14b) is intercepted and transmitted to the controllers (12). At least a first controller responds by transmitting requested data to the computing element and by indicating how a second controller will respond to the intercepted request.

摘要： A mirror set copy from a first storage device (10) and controller (70) to a second storage device (20) and a controller (85) is performed in a computer system (100) in which write requests (50) are each associated with a reference label. A mirror read request (60) is received at the first storage device, while write requests are received and processed at the first device and received at both. The first storage device then sends the data and label to the second, after which the second storage device writes the data. The second device processes write requests until it finds a request with the same reference label as that sent with the data.
