coupling
<programming, hardware> The degree to which components depend on one
another. There are two types of coupling, "tight" and "loose". Loose coupling is
desirable for good software engineering but tight coupling may be necessary for
maximum performance. Coupling is increased when the data exchanged between
components becomes larger or more complex.
