Explain how the processor is physically connected to memory and input/output (I/O) devices using the system busesUnit 19 Task 2 (D1)

Control bus
A control bus is a computer bus that is used by the CPU to communicate with devices that are contained within the computer. This occurs through physical connections such as cables or printed circuits.
The CPU transmits a variety of control signals to components and devices to transmit control signals to the CPU using the control bus. One of the main objectives of a bus is to minimize the lines that are needed for communication. An individual bus permits communication between devices using one data channel. The control bus is bidirectional and assists the CPU in synchronizing control signals to internal devices and external components. It is comprised of interrupt lines, byte enable lines, read/write signals and status lines.
When the CPU writes data to the main memory, it transmits a signal to the write command line. The CPU also sends a signal to the read command line when it needs to read. This signal permits the CPU to receive or transmit data from main memory.
Data Bus
A data bus is a computer subsystem that allows for the transferring of data from one component to another on a motherboard or system board, or between two computers. This can include transferring data to and from the memory, or from the central processing unit (CPU) to other components. Each one is designed to handle so many bits of data at a time. The amount of data a data bus can handle is called bandwidth.
A typical data bus is 32-bits wide. This means that up to 32 bits of data can travel through a data bus every second. Newer computers are making data buses that can handle 64-bit and even 96-bit data paths. At the same time they are making data buses to handle more bits, they are also making devices that can handle those higher bitrates.
Address bus
An address bus is a computer bus architecture used to transfer data between devices that are identified by the hardware address of the physical memory (the physical address), which is stored in the form of binary numbers to enable the data bus to access memory storage.
The address bus is used by the CPU or

do the texts you have studied explore the assumptions underlying the concept of journey? The texts I have studied including the poem “Journey: The North Coast” by Robert Gray, film by Walter Salles, The Motorcycle Diaries and “The Ride of Zhu” short story by Nick Long have apparent assumptions underlying the concept of journey in that the process is more important than the journey itself and that physical journeys can result in an inner and emotional transitions. Gray used visual imagery to…
English Essay: Journeys change a person’s conscious awareness. It is not the movement from one place to another alone. Journey is made up of different aspects that are illustrated in all three texts being discussed and is conveyed through the presence of their past. “The year my voice broke” is a coming of age film directed by John Duigan. It explores the journeys of its three protagonists, Trevor who explores how some characters don’t undergo any change but only go through a trip, Freya who undertakes…
Journey to Equality For many centuries African American’s have been treated as if they were lower class citizens and treated as so. It has taken them many years and help from some amazing people to rise above it all. After the many centuries of segregation and ill treatment, African Americans have been able to overcome and have become more respected in society today. This is a wonderful outcome of what is known as the Civil Rights Movement. In 1865, America had many major changes…
before I start I would like to see a show of hands, who like public speaking? (Wait for hands) Okay…. Who likes physical journeys? (Wait again for hands), well that what I thought. It’s the journey that matters, not the destination I would like talk to you today about physical journeys, I will be covering two supplementary texts that help my understanding of a physical journey and how they can be conveyed in a variety of ways. One of the texts being the “our women in Iraq” article and the magazine…
concept of journey embraces the notions of place, movement and time (Board of Studies). The concept of journey has been further classified into “concepts” of journey, ‘imaginative’, ‘physical’ and ‘inner’ journeys. These notions of journey have been denoted and represented through the intelligent work of William Shakespeare in King Henry V, and in the ingenious film by Ang Lee ‘The Life of Pi’. American novelist and poet, Don Williams Jr, once wrote “our lessons in life come from the journey, not the…
Illissa Mestas Freshmen Seminar September 11, 2011 Enrique’s Journey Have you ever thought of how much suffering the immigrants go through just to reach a better life? Well I for one have never thought about it until I read Enrique’s journey. The perseverance and hope in these people is something that you just cannot wrap your head around. It the unconditional love they have for their family members that they try to find…
The Journey of The Human Firstly I would like to thank you for taking the time of day to consider publishing a book that is very close to my heart. We all strive to live to our peak (as shown on the book’s cover) experiencing highs and lows as our circumstances are changing. The journey of the human is based around this understanding and is a collection of essay’s incorporating wonder and exploration as it uncovers the true understanding of ‘the journey’ and how all the journey experiences…
Pre- Journey Writing My name is Jabulile Ndiaye. I was born in the small, but ever growing town of Thaba Tseka in Lesotho of southern Africa. My family has deeply rooted Zulu culture in it. Growing up, one of our many traditions included worshipping the god of the sky, Unkulunkulu, who had a daily impact on our peoples’ lives for good or for evil. Unkulunkulu was said to be the god of the people and slave to a greater Lord who created all the greater things in the universe. The Zulu believe…
Gilgamesh’s Journey Gilgamesh was created two thirds god and one third man. He was given a perfect body, and endowed with courage. He was not well-liked by the people of Uruk because he would take their children, and use their wives and daughters. When the gods heard the cries of the people of Uruk, they wanted to create him an equal, one to be like his own reflection in order to allow him to leave the people of Uruk alone. Thus, Enkindu was created. One night when Gilgamesh was about to steal…
trials before this dream of his came officially came true. Kings went through what some people might call, a hero’s journey, he went through many ups and downs before his dream came to life. On the day of December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks was arrested for violating the laws of segregation known as “Jim Crow Laws”. This night she was arrested King was called to the beginning of his journey by E.D. Nixon, head of the local NAACP to plan a city-wide bus boycott. The NAACP assisted King through many of his…
