• Traditionally relied on bus-based
technologies (last mile bottleneck)
– E.g., PCI, PCI-X
– One bit per wire
– Performance increase through:
• Increasing clock speed
• Increasing bus width
– Not scalable:
• Cross talk between bits
• Skew between wires
• Signal integrity makes it difficult to increase bus
width significantly, especially for high clock speeds
