Title: New bus architecture for distributed avionic systems

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5081426

The authors discuss a bus architecture which offers several advantages over conventional buses for a large selection of applications, and which allows for both interrupts and error checking. The bus may be expanded in the form of a tree with many processors, memories, and input/output devices distributed freely throughout the system. Therefore, it is inherently a multiprocessor bus and is well suited for systems in which a central controller controls several subordinate processors and devices. Its low overhead plus large capacity for expansion make it appropriate for a wide range of future systems.
