The SiliconExpress IV SCSI-2 accelerator card ($995) supports sustained 16-bit SCSI-2 data transfer rates of 20 MBps, according to Atto Technology (Amherst, NY). The card supports up to 15 peripherals without disabling the Mac's built-in SCSI port. The bus-mastering feature supports bus throttling, which smooths out the overall bandwidth of the bus, thus increasing overall data throughput. Bus mastering also transfers data independently of the CPU. The SiliconExpress IV supports fast NuBus block-mode transfers and contains an on-board RISC processor.

is
theoretical--and no language better exemplifies this than C++.
