	QuickRing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		QuickRing was a gigabit-rate interconnect that combined the functions of a computer bus and a network.
		QuickRing started as an offshoot of the fabled Futurebus project, which started in the late 1970s under the aegis of the IEEE.
		Efforts were made to standardize QuickRing inside the existing VMEbus system using some redundant pins in response to an industry effort to standardize on an interconnect for parallel processing, but nothing ever came of this.

		At Apple QuickRing was being positioned primarily as a secondary bus for computer systems to carry multiple streams of digital video without using the existing backplane bus.
		The basic QuickRing system consisted of seven serial links, six of them carrying data, and one a 50MHz clock signal.
		Each QuickRing interface contained two of these 200MB/s links, one for "upstream" and one for "downstream" connections in a point-to-point ring.

		QuickRing is a high-speed architecture for data transfer between NuBus cards in the Mac so that they can move data faster than ten times the maximum speed of NuBus, or 200 MB per second.
		QuickRing, in contrast, would be the equivalent of a 20 lane highway for those same 50 cars.
		QuickRing pushes the performance envelope, and the rest of the systems will play catch-up with what it makes possible for few years, just as software developers were suddenly able to create huge applications like PageMaker once most everyone had a hard disk.

		The QuickRing backplane SPICE models, developed early in the design cycle for performance predictions, were correlated with the Scope54 measurement data collected on the test articles.
		Correlation was achieved by the on-screen overlaying of the SPICE simulation results with measured backplane TDR's and QuickRing signals.
		The final result was a set of validated SPICE models which can be used in predicting performance of future QuickRing designs with a high degree of confidence and without the delays associated with re-design and fabrication of a new set of physical test articles.

		Due to the simplicity of these standards, both standards were completed before Futurebus+.

		When BYTE first covered QuickRing, it was as a potential local-bus architecture that could compete with PCI and VL-Bus.
		PCI has since gained momentum as a system bus; however, expect a number of vendors to announce QuickRing products this fall that complement today's PC architectures by moving large amounts of data over the top of the system bus via card-to-card interconnects or between computers using copper cable.
		QuickRing supports sustained data transfer of 150 to 180 MBps.

		The QUICKMAT consists of Quickrings and curved sectional matrices in two different heights (5 mm and 6.4 mm).
		The Quickring can be easily sterilized in an autoclave at 134°C. The Quickring is made of stainless steel and has specially angled tines so that two Quickrings can be placed on top of one another without any problem when obturating MOD cavities.
		With larger cavities, rubber silicone rings can be placed over the tines to prevent them penetrating too deeply into the interdental space.

		Meanwhile, National Semiconductor last weeek also revealed that it no longer expects Apple to support its QuickRing bus, which was originally designed by Apple (EN, Oct. 4), but National is still planning to support Quickring as a backplane bus in non-PC environments.
		Meanwhile, one apparent ramification of Apple's P1394-based strategy is that the computer maker will not deploy the Quickring bus with silicon from National.
		Hughes said National still intends a marketing push for Quickring as a backplane bus, primarily in hubs, routers and Scalable Coherent Interface (SCI) implementations.

		Some buses, such as SCSI, are cable based -- devices in separate chassis are connected together by cables that carry the bus signals.
		Another variation is the front-plane bus in which ribbon cable connects circuit boards mounted in a chassis (usually in addition to a backplane bus) -- an example is the MaxBus digital video bus, or the Apple/CSPI QuickRing multiprocessor interconnect.
		Buses generally are distinguished into two control mechanisms: synchronous and asynchronous.
