Abstract From the Canadian patent

A direct memory access (DMA) controlled system which performs DMA data transfer between a main memory a cache memory, and disk memories while exchanging DMA transfer requests and acknowledgements among disk control units, memory-to-memory transfer control unit and a common DMA control unit. The data transfer speed between the main memory and cache memory is variable according to the load condition of the DMA control unit for the disk memories, enabling the transfer capability of the DMA control unit to be kept at a fixed continually high level.
