DMA has been around for a long time and when it was invented it was really needed. Is it needed as much now with faster processors and also dual processors?
The idea behind it is to free up the CPU so it can do other things giving it priority. Devices such as sound cards have their own DMA. DMA is a technique to speed up data transfer without using the CPU. DMA is executed by a DMA controller that does not capture data but only drives the bus. Can you discuss the DMA controller in more detail?
