What are the major differentiate between Input-output processor (IOP) and direct memory Access (DMA)
What are the major differentiate between Input-output processor (IOP) and direct memory Access (DMA) [5]
DMA (Direct Memory Access) is a data transfer mechanism between memory and I/O devices controlled by an external DMA controller circuit, without CPU involvement during the actual transfer. IOP (Input-Output Processor) is a more advanced processor with direct memory access capability that can exec...
