  Industry Standard Architecture
, standard> (ISA) A bus standard for IBM compatibles that extends the XT bus architecture to 16 bits.
It also allows for bus mastering although only the first 16 MB of main memory is available for direct access.
In reference to the XT bus architecture it is sometimes referred to as "AT bus architecture".

 Industry Standard Architecture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In reference to the XT bus, it is sometimes referred to as the AT bus architecture.
The XT bus architecture is an eight-bit ISA bus used by Intel 8086 and Intel 8088 systems in the IBM PC and IBM PC XT in the 1980s.
The PC/104 bus, used in industrial and embedded applications, is a derivative of the ISA bus, utilizing the same signal lines with different connectors.

Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) bus is the bus architecture used in the IBM PC and compatibles.
The protocols also allows for bus mastering although only the first 16 MB of main memory is available for direct access.
Starting in the early 90s, ISA began to be replaced by the PCI local bus architecture.

 O'Reilly Network -- An Introduction to the InfiniBand Architecture
The architecture is based on a serial, switched fabric that in addition to defining link bandwidths between 2.5 and 30 Gbits/sec, resolves the scalability, expandability, and fault tolerance limitations of the shared bus architecture through the use of switches and routers in the construction of its fabric.
Version 1.0 of the InfiniBand Architecture Specification was released in October of 2000 and the 1.0a version, mainly consisting of minor changes to the 1.0 version, was released in June of 2001.
The most common configuration of the PCI bus is a 32-bit 33MHz version that provides a bandwidth of 133MB per second, although the 2.2 version of the specification allows for a 64-bit version at 33MHz for a bandwidth of 266MB per second and even a 64-bit 66MHz version for a bandwidth of 533MB per second.

 AT bus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
AT bus, also known as ISA (Industry Standard Architecture) bus, is a 16-bit bus started with the IBM-AT (Advanced Technology) systems.
The bus is the collection of wires and electronic components that connect all device controllers and add-in cards.
The bus, therefore, is the main highway for all data moving in and out of the computer.

 A Bus Architecture For System-On-Chip Designs
The CoreFrame on-chip bus architecture is defined along with examples to illustrate how a design friendly bus standard will effect the mix and match of reusable cores without sacrificing performance.
Bus loading also limits theoreti-cal performance and the verification problems associated with bus loading can lead to a conservative design whose performance falls short of the inherent technology capa-bilities.
On-chip bus architectures will make or break the concept of system-on-chip design if it provides an effective vehicle for the mix-and-match insertion of custom IP without sacrificing either performance or verification time.

 Halfbakery: Ethernet as Bus Architecture
My first inclination is to point out that Ethernet is already a bus, however I'll put pedantry aside and point out instead that a packet switched internal network would be slower than anything in use now.
The problem is that for almost every device in the system the gigabit bus will either be too slow, to expensive, or both.
On an ethernet-style bus, every cache miss would require sending and receiving many bytes of addressing/routing stuff in addition to the actual data required.

 The Allayer RoX® Bus Architecture
When the first RoX bus devices were introduced in early 1998, the concept of the RoX bus was quickly proven in the field with numerous systems using the AL100 as the basis of an expandable Fast Ethernet switching family.

 Apple - Power Mac G5 - Architecture
Consider the 1GHz frontside bus, for instance: There’s one on each processor for maximum throughput to and from the PowerPC G5 processor.
Add to that the 400MHz, dual-channel 128-bit memory bus, AGP 8X Pro graphics bus — as well as the HyperTransport interface that connects the PCI-X controller and the I/O subsystems to the system controller — and you’re looking at some impressive architectural advances that speed up the data flow inside your computer.
As an advanced engineering concept, it’s beautiful in its simplicity: A point-to-point architecture provides each primary subsystem with dedicated throughput to main memory, neatly avoiding time-consuming contention for bandwidth (unlike subsystems that share a bus and are compelled to constantly negotiate for access and bandwidth across a common data path).

The Multisystem eXtension Interface bus (MXIbus) is a multidrop parallel bus architecture designed for high-speed communication between devices.
The MXIbus architecture is a very high-performance link between devices because it maps actual bus cycles on one device to bus cycles on another device.
Because it is a multidrop, multimaster architecture with a full 32-bit multiplexed address and data pathway, multiple 8-, 16-, or 32-bit MXIbus devices can dynamically communicate with each other and control each other’s resources at very high speeds.
