System bus model

System bus model

The System bus model is a streamlined version of the Von Neumann model of computer architecture. The System bus models divides the computer into three individual subunits which are the CPU, memory and Input/Output. THe system bus model deviates from the von Neumann model by combining the Arithmetic logic unit(ALU) and the Central processing unit(CPU) into a single unit. cite book|first=Miles J.|last=Murdocca| coauthors=Vincent P.

Communications

A key feature of the System bus model are the shared communication pathways all part of the system bus. The system bus is composed of the data bus, address bus, control bus, power bus and sometimes an I/O bus. The data bus is used for transfer of data between subunits while the address bus is used to transmit location information between units such as where the data is going or coming from. The control bus is used to provide information as to how data is being sent. The power bus is often not graphically depicted on models but is understood to exist. Furthermore, some more complex architecturs may also incorporate a separate I/O bus for transfer of data between Input/Output devices.
