NPU (Net Protein Utilization- also measures how capably a protein is used by the body.

BU (biological units) refer to the measurement of protein quality based on amino acid profile and digestibility, while NPU (net protein utilization) measures the efficiency of dietary protein utilization by the body. BU assesses the protein's amino acid content and digestibility, while NPU considers how well the body absorbs and utilizes the protein after consumption.

The Numeric Processing Unit is a specialized version of a CPU, it can ONLY preform math operations, but does them at a much faster rate than the CPU. Because it is directly controlled by the CPU the NPU does not have ANY address selection ability. Therefore , it has NO connection to the address bus. (Note hte direct connection to the CPU , in modern systems the NPU is physically part of the CPU).
