In computer architecture, a bus is a subsystem that transfers data between computer components inside a computer or between computers. Unlike a point-to-point connection, a bus can logically connect several peripherals over the same set of wires.
A bus is a type of internal circuit which carries data from one host or controller, to another.
For example, the FSB (FrontSide Bus) is the bus that connects the CPU, and the memory controller (or northbridge), and is the single most important bus for overall computing capabilities.
Some systems re-name the bus to something else. Such as AMD, whose Frontside Bus is renamed to HyperTransport Bus. This is done to differentiate between new 'techniques' and 'technologies' that improve the Bus in some way.
In computing, a BUS is a link between apparatuses within a computer so that they can share data an example of that would be the connection between a hard drive and the random access memory. They are also used so that computers can communicate themselves.
An address bus is a form of computer bus commonly found in central processing units and other components that require some connection to the memory system. This bus differs from a data bus, which directly transfers actual data from one component or computer to another.
Address buses are used to specify the location of memory for read or write operations, allowing the data bus to transfer data to and from the appropriate locations. Without the address bus, data would be written and read seemingly at random, rendering modern computing next to impossible.
The buses transport information from one part of the computer to another.
The information can be data, memory addresses, I/O port addresses, etc.; sometimes there are shared buses that transport several kinds of information and sometimes there are dedicated buses that transport only one kind of information.
A bus is a set of electrical conductors that carry signals, usually to convey data or to specify an address (a number, like a page number).
A bus in a computer is synonymous to a pathway that the electrical signal takes to get from one component to another.
Buses are used to connect the board components and peripherals.
system bus
No, a personal computer is an example of a general-purpose computer. The computer in a VCR is designed for the specific purpose of operating the VCR.
BUS speed is used to define how fast data can be copied from one area of the computer to another. The BUS speed can relate to data being moved between memory and the processor, for example. A processor can process at it's peak speed, but the BUS defines how fast the computer can FEED the processor. Two identical processors, one with a 533 mhz FSB and one with an 800 mhz FSB, the 800 mhx FSB will pass data to the processor faster.

asynchronous bus A bus that interconnects devices of a computer system where information transfers between devices are self-timed rather than controlled by a synchronizing clock signal.
The IBM General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB) Adapter connects IBM Personal Computer (PC) products to a general-purpose interface bus.
The system bus allows different parts inside the computer to communicate with each other. The memory, the CPU, and the chipset all have to communicate with each other. There is also the peripheral bus so add-on cards can communicate with the computer.

The system bus allows different parts inside the computer to communicate with each other. The memory, the CPU, and the chipset all have to communicate with each other. There is also the peripheral bus so add-on cards can communicate with the computer.
function of a bus shelter
The slowest computer bus would be a stopped or halted computer bus, since there would be infinite time between operations.
A Computer Bus is usually the USB Ports, and there used for USB Plugging things.
The "bus" is the communication system for the computer on the car.
A Intel system bus is a single computer bus that connects the components of a major computer system. The system bus also referred to as crossbar switch.
purpose of using computer
A bus consists of wires which is used to transfer data either in serial or parallel transmission.
A bus is a group of wires, of a number that is compatible with the size of data that the computer works with. If the computer works in bytes then the bus would have to be 8 wires wide. If the computer works in Words then the bus would have to be 16 wires wide. If the computer works in double Words then the bus would have to be 32 wires wide. and so on. This allows the computer to send a 'block' of related information at a time. Now there are several different devices in a computer's hardware that may all work with the same size of data. So it would (or does) make sense to use one bus for all such transfers between these devices, otherwise you would have a lot more wires in a computer than what you really need. So devices share the bus. Only the source and destination device are enabled for use at the same time while all other devices are disabled.
