Question

Consider anI/O bus that can transfer 6 bytes of data in one bus cycle. Supposethat a designer is planning to attach the following two componentsto this bus.

Hard drivewith a transfer rate of 100 M bytes/sec
Video card with a transfer rate of 128 Mbytes/sec

What will bethe maximum bandwidth from these two components? (The maximumfrequency of the bus is 30 MHz) Consider anI/O bus that can transfer 6 bytes of data in one bus cycle. Supposethat a designer is planning to attach the following two componentsto this bus.
Hard drivewith a transfer rate of 100 M bytes/sec
Video card with a transfer rate of 128 Mbytes/sec What will bethe maximum bandwidth from these two components? (The maximumfrequency of the bus is 30 MHz)

Explanation / Answer

Dear User,       The maximum frequency of the bus is 30 MHz.

the maximum bandwidth of this bus is 30 x 6 = 180. The demand for bandwidth from these two componentswill 128 + 100 = 228

this is more than the 180 Mbytes/sec that the bus provide.
If designer use two components with bus, one or both componentswill operating at deduced bandwidth. I hope this will helps toyou
