Standard parallel-bus structures are reaching their performance limits. The only way to increase system bandwidth is to switch to a serial-bus structure. Although serial structures promise enhanced ...

The Xtreme Bus Emulator (XBE) VXI-bus emulator allows the emulation of a digital parallel or serial bus by downloading a unique micro-code that defines the bus protocol scheduled for execution.

Enter InfiniBand: here the data path now becomes a bit-serial bus with a much higher bandwidth and data flow. This approach is not unlike what evolved in the 1980s as D1 and D2 digital video. For ...

For example, the vintage IDE bus is being replaced by SATA (Serial ATA) and the parallel SCSI bus by SAS (Serial Attached SCSI). In the case of PCI and PCI-X, a serial replacement called PCI-Express ...
