  Channel controller - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A channel controller is a simple CPU used to handle the task of moving data to and from the memory of a computer.
The first use of channel controllers was in the famed CDC 6600 supercomputer, which used 12 dedicated computers they referred to as peripheral processors, or PP's for this role.
Channel controllers can be said to be making a comeback in the form of "bus mastering" peripheral devices, such as SCSI adaptors and network cards.

Before, control dials were mounted directly on the console, forcing players to hunch over if they wanted to play while sitting on the floor in front of the TV, for example.
The controllers were connected to the console through dedicated 8-foot wires.
Few Channel F ROMs are available as of yet; you can find those that are in the Channel F section of the Game Vault.

Identify a channel that is not attached to storage.
When a controller's channel is attached to an enclosure or an array, the channel object can be expanded to display the disks included in the array or the enclosure.
Right-click the channel that is attached to the enclosure.

 Fairchild Channel F
The Channel F was to be designed around Fairchild's own F8 microprocessor (which was actually a CPU and several support processors that all together are called the "F8").
Detached controllers were just starting to appear that year on pong units - instead of mounting the dials directly on the unit (leading to hunching over if you're sitting on the floor in front of the TV), pong players could now sit back and use the same knobs mounted on handheld controllers.
Fairchild responded in kind by changing the name of their console to the Fairchild Channel F. However, the blocky graphics were starting to show their age already (if you can believe that) when compared against the 2600's higher resolution blocky graphics.

 Dual-channel architecture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dual channel-enabled memory controllers utilize two 64-bit data channels, resulting in a total bandwidth of 128-bits, to move data from RAM to the CPU.
The memory controller determines the types and speeds of RAM as well as the maximum size of each individual memory module and the overall memory capacity of the system.
Under the single channel architecture, any CPU with a bus speed that is greater than the memory speed would be liable to fall prey to this bottle-neck effect.

Connect a programming lead from a laptop to the front panel mounted TSC programming socket and the channel will gracefully enter programming mode.

 The Dual-Channel Revolution
The memory controller, the interface between the CPU and system memory, is part of the Northbridge portion of the motherboard chipset.
On the negative side, a single-channel memory controller becomes a performance bottleneck when it can't keep up with the CPU bus, leaving the processor to waste clock cycles with nothing to process.
The concept is almost one of "reduce, recycle, reuse," in that it turns older, slower, and cheaper memory into an up-to-date speed demon by adding a second, parallel memory pathway.

 ICP vortex GDT RAID Controllers
The fibre-channel controllers work well under Linux using the EXT2 file system, but Linux support for file systems capable of using the fibre-channel drives as fibre-attached storage (shared between multiple machines) is in experimental stages at best.
Thus, four drives per channel would be a good ``seat of the pants'' estimate here, requiring a 3-channel RAID controller.
For a single-channel controller, you may wish to look into competing devices from Mylex, AMI or Adaptec, bearing in mind that their support for Linux is relatively recent and incomplete.

 X-bit labs - Articles - Four-Channel ATA RAID Controllers Comparison
If each drive of the array is connected to a separate IDE channel, the prime cause of the problem will be eliminated: there will be no hard disk drives connected to one and the same cable and hence no simultaneous data transfers via one cable.
As soon as the writes share got equal to 90%, the dual-channel controllers managed to reach their maximum advantage over the four-channel fellows, and a moment later this impressive victory disappeared.
Bearing in mind that in case of dual-channel controllers the HDDs were added to RAID 1 array from different channels, there appears no big difference between the dual-channel solutions and the four-channel HighPoint RocketRAID404.

This technote briefly compares the performance of the DS4100 SATA controller and the DS4300 and DS4500 Fibre Channel controllers.
The DS4100 controller using a SATA drive is suited primarily for sequential I/O operations.
The similar performance in maximum throughput capability between the DS4100 and the DS4300 is because these RAID controllers are very similar, with the exception that the DS4100 is a storage server that uses a SATA drive while the DS4300 is a storage server that uses a Fibre Channel drive.
