  2. Bus (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_(computing)

    An address bus is a bus that is used to specify a physical address. When a processor or DMA-enabled device needs to read or write to a memory location, it specifies that memory location on the address bus (the value to be read or written is sent on the data bus). The width of the address bus determines the amount of memory a system can address.

  3. System bus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_bus

    A system bus is a single computer bus that connects the major components of a computer system, combining the functions of a data bus to carry information, an address bus to determine where it should be sent or read from, and a control bus to determine its operation. The technique was developed to reduce costs and improve modularity, and ...

  4. Control bus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_bus

    In computer architecture, a control bus is part of the system bus and is used by CPUs for communicating with other devices within the computer. While the address bus carries the information about the device with which the CPU is communicating and the data bus carries the actual data being processed, the control bus carries commands from the CPU and returns status signals from the devices.

  5. Physical address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_address

    Diagram of relationship between the virtual and physical address spaces. In computing, a physical address (also real address, or binary address), is a memory address that is represented in the form of a binary number on the address bus circuitry in order to enable the data bus to access a particular storage cell of main memory, or a register of memory-mapped I/O device.

  6. Unidirectional network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unidirectional_network

    A unidirectional network (also referred to as a unidirectional gateway or data diode) is a network appliance or device that allows data to travel in only one direction. Data diodes can be found most commonly in high security environments, such as defense, where they serve as connections between two or more networks of differing security ...

  7. HyperTransport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperTransport

    With the advent of version 3.1, using full 32-bit links and utilizing the full HyperTransport 3.1 specification's operating frequency, the theoretical transfer rate is 25.6 GB/s (3.2 GHz × 2 transfers per clock cycle × 32 bits per link) per direction, or 51.2 GB/s aggregated throughput, making it faster than most existing bus standard for PC ...

  8. I3C (bus) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I3C_(bus)

    I²C Extended (10-bit) Addresses. All devices on an I3C bus are addressed by a 7-bit address. Native I3C devices have a unique 48-bit address which is used only during dynamic address assignments. If clock stretching is needed, a "I3C Hub" can be used to bridge between the I3C network and the I²C target device. [17]

  9. Local bus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_bus

    In computer architecture, a local bus is a computer bus that connects directly, or almost directly, from the central processing unit (CPU) to one or more slots on the expansion bus. The significance of direct connection to the CPU is avoiding the bottleneck created by the expansion bus, thus providing fast throughput .
