Multiple VMEbus Interconnections Using Hardware Semaphores

ISMM International Symposium for Mini and Microcomputers and their Applications, Lugano, Switzerland, June 1990, pp. 114-117.

Abstract: In many VMEbus based systems, the internal system bus is the most commonly shared resource of the system and can create a performance bottleneck. In this paper, various techniques of logical bus interconnections using hardware semaphores are discussed and the proposed interconnection mechanism is explained. The system’s performance improvement is evaluated using the two bus architecture instead of the single bus configuration.
