Simple computer designs move data with a single bus structure; multiple buses, however, vastly improve performance. In a multiple-bus architecture, each pathway is suited to handle a particular ...

Expansion buses (sometimes called peripheral buses) have connectors that allow you to add a computer's expansion cards (peripherals). Different types of standard internal buses are characterized by ...

What does serial bus actually mean? Find out inside PCMag's comprehensive tech and computer-related encyclopedia.

The PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturing Group recently ratified the PICMG 2.17 CompactPCI StarFabric Specification, which specifies how to implement StarFabric. StarFabric provides a simple ...

The improvement to the chipset sets the stage for the forthcoming dual-core Itanium processor, code-named Montecito, which will feature the same bus architecture. Computer maker Hitachi said it ...

Supporting both buses on board, he said, “bridges the advanced-feature capabilities of PCI technology with ISA card slots, protecting original investments and allowing access to the long-term upward ...

With its peak data transfer rate of 6.4GBps, HyperTransport Technology will be integrated into AMD’s next-generation processors, Mitchell said.

PCI version 2.1 will run at 66 MHz. And another bus called ISA (industry standard architecture) runs a 16-bit data path and is on the path to obsolescence. The InfiniBand standard is supported by an ...
