US Patent 11347512 Substitution through protocol to protocol translation

Aspects of the invention include receiving a request for data. The request is received from a computing element implementing a first bus protocol, and the data is accessible via a reduced instruction set computer (RISC) system implementing a plurality of bus protocols. A type of the received request is determined. A bus protocol is selected from the plurality of bus protocols based at least in part on the type of the received request. The received request is translated into a format that is compatible with the selected bus protocol and transmitted to the RISC system. Data is received from the RISC system in response to transmitting the translated request.
