bus
     
         one of the sets of conductors wires, pcb
        tracks or connections in an integrated circuit connecting
        the various functional units in a computer.  there are
        busses both within the cpu and connecting it to external
        memory and peripheral devices.  the data bus, address bus
        and control signals, despite their names, really constitute a
        single bus since each is useless without the others.
     
        the width of the data bus, i.e. the number of parallel
        connectors, and its clock rate determine its data rate the
        number of bytes per second which it can carry.  this is one
        of the factors limiting a computer's performance.  most
        current microprocessors have 32-bit busses both internally
        and externally.  100 or 133 megahertz bus clock rates are
        common.  the bus clock is typically slower than the processor
        clock.
     
        some processors have internal busses which are wider than
        their external busses usually twice the width since the
        width of the internal bus affects the speed of all operations
        and has less effect on the overall system cost than the width
        of the external bus.
     
        various bus designs have been used in the pc, including
        isa, eisa, micro channel, vl-bus and pci.  other
        peripheral busses are nubus, turbochannel, vmebus, multibus and
        std bus.
     
        some networks are implemented as a bus at the physical
        layer, e.g. ethernet - a one-bit bus operating at 10 or
        later 100 megabits per second.
     
        the term is almost certainly derived from the electrical
        engineering term "bus bar" - a substantial, rigid power supply
        conductor to which several connections are made.  this was
        once written "'bus bar" as it was a contraction of "omnibus
        bar" - a connection bar "for all", by analogy with the
        passenger omnibus - a conveyance "for all".
