A method includes storing first and second sets of parameters in a
register. Each set of parameters defines a storage transaction to store
data to a computer readable medium or a retrieval transaction to retrieve
data from the computer readable medium. The first storage or retrieval
transaction is performed according to the first set of parameters. The
second set of parameters is retrieved from the register automatically
when the first storage or retrieval transaction is completed, without
waiting for a further command from a control processor. The second
storage or retrieval transaction is performed according to the retrieved
second set of parameters. A system for performing the method and a
computer readable medium containing pseudocode for generating an
application specific integrated circuit that performs the method are
provided.
