Abstract

Busses are vital elements of a digital system---they interconnect registers, functional modules, subsystems, and systems. As technological advances raise system complexity and connectivity, busses are being recognized as primary architectural resources which can frequently be the limiting factor in performance, modularity, and reliability. The traditional view of bussing as just an ad hoc way of hooking things together can no longer be relied upon to produce even viable much less cost-effective solutions to these increasingly sophisticated interconnect problems.
