Parallel communication modern computers. Before the development of high-speed serial technologies, the choice of parallel links over serial links was driven by these factors: The decreasing cost and better performance of integrated circuits has led to serial links being used in favor of parallel links; for example, IEEE 1284 printer ports vs. USB, Parallel ATA vs. Serial ATA, and FireWire or Thunderbolt are now the most common connectors for transferring data from AV(audiovisual) devices such as digital cameras or professional-grade scanners that used to require purchasing a SCSI HBA years ago. One huge advantage of having fewer wires/pins in a serial cable
Serial memory processing been found that confusability in the items in the memory set can affect item recognition. Auditory and phonological confusability in the memory set is associated with increased encoding time. As well, visual confusability in the memory set is associated with increased comparison time. It is shown that the modality of the items can affect different processes in item recognition. Serial memory processing Serial memory processing is the act of attending to and processing one item at a time. This is usually contrasted against parallel memory processing, which is the act of attending to and processing all items simultaneously. In short-term
