Abstract

See full text

Aspects include accessing data located on peripheral devices using synchronous input/output (I/O). A unit of work is received by an operating system (OS) executing on a processor. The unit of work includes an I/O request to access data located on a persistent storage control unit (SCU) that is external to the processor. It is determined that the I/O request should be serviced by a synchronous I/O. A synchronous I/O is initiated to the persistent SCU to service the I/O request based on determining that the I/O request should be serviced by a synchronous I/O. The unit of work is kept active while waiting for the synchronous I/O to complete. A notification that the I/O has completed is received and the unit of work is completed in response to receiving the notification.
