- 2. Data path • A datapath is a collection of functional units such as arithmetic logic units or multipliers that perform data processing operations, registers, and buses. Along with the control unit it composes the central processing unit (CPU). A larger datapath can be made by joining more than one datapaths using multiplexers. • A data path is the ALU, the set of registers, and the CPU's internal bus(es) that allow data to flow between them.

- 6. Bus Bus: In early computers “BUS” were parallel electrical wires with multiple hardware connections. Therefore a bus is a communication system that transfers data between components inside a computer, or between computers. • Data Bus: The buses which are used to carry data. • Control Bus: If the bus is carrying control signals. • Address Bus: The buses which are used to carry address. • Power Bus: If it is carrying clock pulse, power signals it is known as a power bus.
- 7. One Bus Organization • A single bus is used for multiple purposes. • A set of general-purpose registers, program counters, instruction registers, memory address registers (MAR), memory data registers (MDR) are connected with the single bus. • In the case of one bus organization, at a time only one operand can be read from the bus. • As a result, if the requirement is to read two operands for the operation then the read operation needs to be carried twice. So that’s why it is making the process a little longer. • One of the advantages of one bus organization is that it is one of the simplest and also this is very cheap to implement.
- 9. Two Bus Organization • In two bus organizations, there are two buses. The general- purpose register can read/write from both the buses. • In this case, two operands can be fetched at the same time because of the two buses. One bus fetch operand for ALU and another bus fetch for register. • The situation arises when both buses are busy fetching operands, the output can be stored in a temporary register and when the buses are free, the particular output can be dumped on the buses. • There are two versions of two bus organizations, i.e., in-bus and out-bus. From in-bus, the general-purpose register can read data and to the out bus, the general-purpose registers can write data. Here buses get dedicated.
- 11. Three Bus Organization • In three bus organizations we have three buses, OUT bus1, OUT bus2, and an IN bus. • From the out buses, we can get the operand which can come from the general-purpose register and evaluated in ALU and the output is dropped on In Bus so it can be sent to respective registers. • This implementation is a bit complex but faster in nature because in parallel two operands can flow into ALU and out of ALU. • It was developed to overcome the “busy waiting” problem of two bus organizations. • In this structure after execution, the output can be dropped on the bus without waiting because of the presence of an extra bus.
- 13. Advantages of Multi Bus Organization • Increase in size of the registers. • Reduction in the number of cycles for execution. • Increases the speed of execution or we can say faster execution.
