Introduction to the Fastbus

OSTI ID:6047615
The Fastbus is a modular data bus system for data acquisition and data processing. It is a multiprocessor system with multiple bus segments which operate independently but link together for passing data. It operates asynchronously to accommodate very high- and very low-speed devices over long or short paths, and uses handshake protocols for reliability. It can also operate synchronously without handshakes for transfer of data blocks at maximum speed. The goals, history, and motivation for the Fastbus are summarized briefly. The structure of the Fastbus system is described in general, and some details of its operation are introduced.
