The 40-pin IDC " Tube " connector was a simple slave connection to the host processor's main bus, with 8 data lines, 7 address lines, and an interrupt input.

The Honeywell hardware system for CP-6 consisted of a mainframe host processor ( L66, DPS8, DPS8000, DPS90 ), to which connected disks, tapes, printers, and card equipment were connected.

A down side to this simplified environment was that WATFOR was not a good choice for programmers needing the expanded abilities of their host processor ( s ), e . g ., WATFOR typically had very limited access to I / O devices.

ADM provides robust performance in the presence of bit errors meaning error detection and correction are not typically used in an ADM radio design, this allows for a reduction in host processor workload ( allowing a low-cost processor to be used ).

Modern network interface controllers offer advanced features such as interrupt and DMA interfaces to the host processors, support for multiple receive and transmit queues, partitioning into multiple logical interfaces, and on-controller network traffic processing such as the TCP offload engine.
26.
From the host processor's viewpoint, plug-ins running under the Vx32 virtual machine monitor run in the context of the application process itself, but the Vx32 library uses dynamic recompilation to prevent the " guest " plug-in code from accessing memory or jumping to instructions outside its designated sandbox.

Although the hardware QSystem ( TM ) professional mixing processors and plug-in producer-side software tools were significant product offerings in the 1990s, most QSound technology is now incorporated in end-user products ( such as video game software, computer sound cards and home entertainment electronics ) by means of analog integrated circuits, digital signal processor ( DSP ) software libraries, host processor software and the like.

The dom0 domain is typically a version of Linux or BSD . User domains may either be traditional operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows under which privileged instructions are provided by hardware virtualization instructions ( if the host processor supports x86 virtualization, e . g ., Intel VT-x and AMD-V ), or " para-virtualized " operating systems whereby the operating system is aware that it is running inside a virtual machine, and so makes hypercalls directly, rather than issuing privileged instructions.
29.
An " iSCSI offload engine ", or " iSOE card ", offers an alternative to a full iSCSI HBA . An iSOE " offloads " the iSCSI initiator operations for this particular network interface from the host processor, freeing up CPU cycles for the main host applications . iSCSI HBAs or iSOEs are used when the additional performance enhancement justifies the additional expense of using an HBA for iSCSI, rather than using a software-based iSCSI client ( initiator ) . iSOE may be implemented with additional services such as TCP offload engine ( TOE ) to further reduce host server CPU usage.
