METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR THE BLOCK TRANSFER OF DATA

摘要

Systems and methods for performing block transfers of data are disclosed. Th e block transfers may be performed such that each portion of the block is transferred to a single address of an input/output device. In addition, the disclosed systems and methods may perform block transfers to two or more input/output devices at substantially the same time. The systems and methods may perform such block transfers without decoding circuitry by offsetting th e address lines of an input/output device(s) from the lines of an address bus, such that several addresses placed on the address bus correspond to only a single address of the device(s).
