It then instructs the DMA hardware to begin the transfer. When the transfer is complete, the device interrupts the CPU. Scatter-gather or vectored I/O DMA allows the transfer of data to and from multiple memory areas in a single DMA transaction. It is equivalent to the chaining together of multiple simple DMA requests.
This kind of transfer is implemented as "single mode transfer" in the Intel 8237 DMA controller. In multiword transfer mode, once a transfer has begun it will continue until all words are transferred or the drive negates the DMA request line. This mode is implemented as "demand mode transfer" in the Intel 8237 DMA controller.
In computing, bus mastering is a feature supported by many bus architectures that enables a device connected to the bus to initiate direct memory access (DMA) transactions. It is also referred to as first-party DMA, in contrast with third-party DMA where a system DMA controller actually does the transfer.
The Digital Markets Act (DMA) [1] is an EU regulation that aims to make the digital economy fairer and more contestable. The regulation entered into force on 1 November 2022 and became applicable, for the most part, on 2 May 2023.
RDMA supports zero-copy networking by enabling the network adapter to transfer data from the wire directly to application memory or from application memory directly to the wire, eliminating the need to copy data between application memory and the data buffers in the operating system.
In the case of DMA, the DMA controller and the device are given exclusive access to the bus without interruption; the CPU is also freed from handling device interrupts. The actual manner in which burst modes work varies from one type of device to another; however, devices that have some sort of a standard burst mode include the following:

The Ultra DMA (Ultra Direct Memory Access, UDMA) modes are the fastest methods used to transfer data through the ATA hard disk interface, usually between a computer and an ATA device. UDMA succeeded Single / Multiword DMA as the interface of choice between ATA devices and the computer.
