bus master


hitecture> The device in a computer which is driving the href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=address bus">address bus and bus control signals at some point in time. In a simple architecture only the (single) href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=CPU">CPU can be bus master but this means that all communications between ("slave") I/O devices must involve the CPU. More sophisticated architectures allow other capable devices (or multiple CPUs) to take turns at controling the bus. This allows, for example, a href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=network controller">network controller card to access a href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=disk controller">disk controller directly while the CPU performs other tasks which do not require the bus, e.g. fetching code from its href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=cache">cache. Note that any device can drive data onto the href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=data bus">data bus when the CPU reads from that device, but only the bus master drives the href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=address bus">address bus and control signals. href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=Direct Memory Access">Direct Memory Access is a simple form of bus mastering where the I/O device is set up by the CPU to read from or write to one or more contiguous blocks of memory and then signal to the CPU when it has done so. Full bus mastering (or "First Party DMA", "bus mastering DMA") implies that the I/O device is capable of performing more complex sequences of operations without CPU intervention (e.g. servicing a complete href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=NFS">NFS request). This will normally mean that the I/O device contains its own processor or href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=microcontroller">microcontroller. See also href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=distributed kernel">distributed kernel. (1996-08-26)
