  High speed parallel bus and data transfer method - Patent 4570220
The parallel bus structure as defined by claim 1, wherein said arbitration means includes arbitration code generation means for transmitting a digital code corresponding to a unique arbitration number for each agent on arbitration lines, each arbitration number denoting a relative priority for access to said parallel bus.
The bus structure as defined by claim 8, wherein a primary processor of said requesting agent generates a message request and passes said request to said message control means of said requesting agent, which encapsulates said request for transmission on said parallel bus.
Parallel bus 35 supports three types of bus cycles which are initiated upon the request of an agent, such as for example processing unit 25, the "arbitration" cycle, the "transfer" cycle and the "exception" cycle.

 Computer bus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Early computer buses were literally parallel electrical buses with multiple connections, but the term is now used for any physical arrangement that provides the same logical functionality as a parallel electrical bus.
The former referred to bus systems that were designed to be used with internal devices, such as graphics cards, and the latter to buses designed to add external devices such as scanners.
An internal bus connects all the internal components of a computer to the motherboard (and thus, the CPU and internal memory).

 Circuit Cellar - Digital Library - CCO
With several dozen ports connected in parallel, the sum of parasitic capacitance tends to slow the parallel bus down, lowering its bandwidth.
An analysis of the required bandwidth of the bus, which depends on the estimated peak data flow on the bus and the actual bus bandwidth, must be performed before a design is finalized.
Because separate parallel port address and data buses mean a higher pin count for a DSP package, and thus a larger package size, most DSP parallel ports have a multiplexed address and data bus parallel port.

The parallel SCSI interface has increased in speed while using the same physical transmission mediums defined when the bus was more than 10 times slower.
