  Channel controller - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first use of channel controllers was in the famed CDC 6600 supercomputer, which used 12 dedicated computers they referred to as peripheral processors, or PP's for this role.
The PP's were quite powerful, basically a cut down version of CDC's first computer, the CDC 1604.
CDC's PP's are at one end of the spectrum of power, most mainframe systems tasked the CPU with more and the channel controllers with less of the overall I/O task.
