    Direct memory access (DMA) allows input/output devices to access system memory directly without intervention from the central processing unit. DMA works by letting peripheral devices control the computer's memory bus to transfer data directly between memory and peripherals. This avoids the processor having to handle each byte of data and allows faster processing as the CPU can work on other tasks while data transfer is occurring in the background. The main advantage of DMA is that it reduces load on the CPU during data transfer operations.

    Topic-Direct Memory Access(DMA)
    DMA stand for?

     DMA stands for Direct Memory Access. It is a


    capability that is provided by computer bus
    architecture that allows sending the data directly from
    the attached devices to the computer motherboard
    memory
    What is DMA and how it works?

     Direct memory access (DMA) is a means of having a


    peripheral device control a processor's memory bus
    directly. DMA permits the peripheral, such as a
    UART, to transfer data directly to or from memory
    without having each byte (or word) handled by the
    processor.
    Why DMA is used for data transfer?

     DMA basically stands for Direct Memory Access. It is


    a process which enables data transfer between the
    Memory and the IO (Input/ Output) device without
    the need of or you can say without the involvement of
    CPU during data transfer.
    Advantages

     Allows
    a peripheral device to read from/write to
    memory without going through the CPU
     Allows for faster processing since the processor can be
    working on something else while the peripheral can be
    populating memory
