local bus
<hardware> A bus connecting a processor to memory, usually on the same
circuit board as opposed to a backplane and therefore faster.
Various proprietary local busses for personal computers are still in use. The
most common are Vesa local bus (VLB or VL), and Peripheral Component
Interconnect (PCI). Some computers, e.g. notebook computers, use a local bus
with no expansion slots. Previous non-local bus standards include ISA, EISA and
MCA.
