Computerized apparatus with a high speed data bus

摘要

A computerized apparatus configured for high-speed data transactions between components thereof. In one embodiment, the computerized apparatus includes a high-speed data bus apparatus; a user interface apparatus in data communication with the high-speed data bus apparatus configured to enable a user to interact with the computerized apparatus; an input/output apparatus in data communication with the high-speed data bus apparatus and configured to interchange data with one or more devices external to the computerized apparatus; a mass storage apparatus in data communication with the high-speed data bus apparatus and configured to store data; a computer program for use by the high-speed data bus apparatus; and a substantially unified data interface in data communication with each of the user interface apparatus, the input/output apparatus, the mass storage apparatus, and the high-speed data bus apparatus.

主权项

1. Computerized apparatus, comprising:
high-speed data bus apparatus, the high-speed data bus apparatus comprising:
at least one data processing apparatus;at least one storage device in data communication with the data processing apparatus via a ring comprising a plurality of data bus segments;wherein each of (i) the at least one data processing apparatus and (ii) the at least one storage device, is configured to act as both master over data transmitted to a downstream one of the at least one data processing apparatus and the at least one storage device via one or more of the data bus segments, and slave of data received from an upstream one of the at least one data processing apparatus and the at least one storage device via one or more of the data bus segments; at least one user interface apparatus in data communication with the high-speed data bus apparatus; at least one input/output apparatus in data communication with the high-speed data bus apparatus; and at least one mass storage apparatus in data communication with the high-speed data bus apparatus; wherein the at least one data processing apparatus and the at least one storage device are each configured to transmit a different data signal simultaneously.
