Abstract
A computerized apparatus configured for high-speed data transactions between components thereof. In one embodiment, the computerized apparatus includes a high-speed ring data bus apparatus with a plurality of nodes, and associated application apparatus in data communication with at least one of the nodes. A synchronous ring protocol is used to transfer data packets or frames around the ring data bus, so as to avoid data collisions. The packets or frames include both payload and control data, and may be addressed to higher layer processes of the application apparatus. In one variant, differentially signaled optical or electrical bus segments are utilized to interface with the nodes, and data is serialized before transmission on the ring data bus. In another variant, a common clock signal is transmitted around the ring with the data packets or frames.
