A program, usually in a separate I/O controller, that directs traffic on the computer bus or input/output paths. The bus master actually controls the bus paths on which the address and control signals flow. DMA is a simple form of bus mastering where the bus master controls I/O transfers between a device and system memory and then signals to the CPU when it has done so. See also DMA.

Root mean square. A statistical measure of a time-varying value, such as voltage, current, or sound pressure. An RMS value is derived as the square root of the mean of the squares of a series of values. In the case of a continuously varying value, it is derived from an integration of the transfer function. For the special case of a sine wave signal, the calculation simplifies to Vrms = 0.707 * Vpeak. May also be written in lowercase as rms.
