ABSTRACT:
According to one aspect of the invention, a method is provided in which one or more requests are received to transmit data between a first device and a second device via a bus having a plurality of data lines. A first number of data lines is assigned for data transmission from the first device to the second device and a second number of data lines is assigned for data transmission from the second device to the first device, based upon a set of rules. Data are transmitted from the first device to the second device using the first number of data lines and from the second device to the first device using the second number of data lines.
