  • dual ported — A term used to describe memory integrated circuits which can be accessed simultaneously via two independent address and data busses.

In single-ported memory these two processes cannot occur simultanteously, the CPU must wait, thus resulting in slower access times. Cycle stealing is one technique used to avoid this in single-ported video memory.
