local bus
local bus
in Technology
hardware
A
bus
connecting a
processor
to
memory
, usually on the same
circuit board
as opposed to a
backplane
and therefore faster.
Various proprietary local busses for
personal computers
are still in use. The most common are
Vesa local bus
(VLB or VL), and
Peripheral Component Interconnect
(PCI). Some computers, e.g. notebook computers, use a local bus with no expansion slots. Previous non-local bus standards include
ISA
,
EISA
and
MCA
.
