A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for using an interactive progress indicator bar to graphically display, and interact with, the completion status information of a plurality of computer operations before they are completed. An interactive progress indicator bar is implemented in a graphical user interface (GUI) and comprises a plurality of progress indicator segments. As computer operations are completed, the details of their completion status are entered into a computer operation log and indexed to their corresponding progress indicator segments. Concurrently, color attributes are applied to progress indicator segments to graphically indicate the completion status of their associated computer operations. Predetermined levels of completion status details are displayed through a user gesture as the cursor is placed over a computer operation's corresponding progress indicator segment. A contextual level of completion status information is displayed in a computer operation log that is automatically scrolled to the corresponding completion status information.

In a computing environment, a display shows the progress of the execution of a user or system initiated task. The display includes the current completion status of the task, and the completion results of the task. The completion results indicate the amount of the task that has been completed and indicates the results of the completion. This displays differs from conventional task status displays in that this display gives information about the progress of the task execution and the activities that occurred during the task execution.

Tracking forms allow tracking of the completion status and implemented quality standards of a building construction project. A tracking form is prepared for one or more tasks requiring completion at the construction site. Each task is assigned two components on its tracking form: a quality control indicator form, which contains one or more quality control indicators indicating whether certain quality standards are met; and a completion indicator, which indicates the completion status of a task. The completion status may be a discrete binary value, or may instead be a continuous value. Preferably, the workers performing the tasks complete each task's quality control indicator form and completion indicator during design and construction as milestones relating to the task are completed, or at the end of some predetermined time period. The completion indicators relating to the tasks are logged so that the completion status of the project may be monitored, and the information recorded on the quality control indicator forms may be sampled and checked to verify that construction quality standards are being met.

A requesting device and a completer device are coupled via a high-speed serial interface within a computer system. The requesting device transmits a packet for a request transaction to a completer device. The completer device checks for error conditions in the course of servicing the request. If an error condition is found then the completer device transmits a completion packet with a completion status of something other than successful. The completion packet includes a completer identification field. The requesting device records the completer identification value and indicates in a register that a completion packet has been received with a non-successful completion status.

The present invention provides a reliable and high-speed data transfer method that achieves a high transfer efficiency and a high application processing efficiency concurrently and a disk control unit (disk controller) using such a method. In reliable data transfer in which, when data is transferred from an initiator to a target, the data received by the target is checked for validity by using an error check code attached to the data, a transfer status indicating whether the data is valid is returned from the target to the initiator, and, if a transfer error occurring during the data transfer is detected by the transfer status, the initiator retries to transfer the data to the target, a data transfer method for logical records that are units of data transfer between the initiator and the target is disclosed. This method is characterized in that: when each logical record transferred by a transfer request issued by the initiator arrives correctly on the target, the target posts a completion status corresponding to the transfer request for the logical record to a completion queue existing in the target; a plurality of logical records in a block are batch transferred; the initiator confirms the transfer status at every batch transfer; and, for each logical record that meets a predetermined batch transfer condition, the target posts a completion status corresponding to the transfer request for the logical record to the completion queue existing in the target upon correct reception of the logical record.
