ABSTRACT:
A computer bus includes a set of computer bus input nodes to receive a set of computer bus input signals generated by system cards attached to the computer bus. The computer bus input signals are processed by a set of bus bit processors. Each of the bus bit processors includes a digital gate logic circuit to perform a logical OR operation on a subset of the set of computer bus input signals. The subset of computer bus input signals corresponds to the signals carried by a single line of a traditional computer bus. Each bus bit processor generates a bus bit processor output signal. The set of bus bit processors thereby form a set of bus bit processor output signals. The bus bit processor output signals are applied to computer bus output nodes for processing by the system cards in a conventional manner. Thus, the digital gate logic circuits of the bus bit processors execute the function performed by traditional hardwired computer bus structures. Consequently, the disclosed computer bus avoids the speed limitations and complicated transmission line design considerations associated with traditional computer bus structures.
