HIPPI: HIgh Performance Parallel Interface

HIgh Performance Parallel Interface(HIPPI) is a computer bus for the attachment of high speed storage devices to supercomputers. It was popular in the late 1980s and into the mid-to-late 1990s, but has since been replaced by ever-faster standard interfaces like SCSI and Fibre Channel.
