No matter what, system architects are always going to have to contend with one – and possibly more – bottlenecks when they design the machines that store and crunch the data that makes the world go ...

PCI Express is an implementation of the PCI computer bus that uses existing PCI programming concepts and communications standards, based on a much faster serial communications system. In fact, PCI ...

The XIO2001 is a single-function PCI Express to PCI translation bridge that is fully compliant to the PCI Express to PCI/PCI-X Bridge Specification, Revision 1.0. For downstream traffic, the bridge ...

Why the need for PCI Express?As processor clock speeds increase, parallel buses such as PCI become harder to implement. Signal skew and fan-out restrictions restrict the bandwidth achievable on a ...

If the datacenter had been taken over by InfiniBand, as was originally intended back in the late 1990s, then PCI-Express peripheral buses and certainly PCI-Express switching – and maybe even Ethernet ...

For more than a decade the PCI bus has been the backbone of personal computers. Other systems, such as telephony and networking, adopted the technology for its cost and performance advantages. But now ...

One of the most comprehensive refreshes of Intel architecture will start rolling out this summer. The PCI Express bus will replace current I/O interfaces, such as PCI for device interconnects and ...

Can you really believe it's been six years since we first saw PCI-Express? Even PCI-Express 2.0 has been around since 2007, and three years later, here we are with the next generation ratified and ...

AudioScience is promoting broadcast sound cards that use the next-generation PCI Express bus. PCI Express is an interface that uses serial data interconnects that run at 2.5 Gbps. The single-lane PCI ...

This paper describes a bus mastering implementation of the PCI Express protocol using a Xilinx FPGA. While the theoretical peak performance of PCI Express is quite high, attaining that performance is ...

Internal SSDs supporting the PCI Express (PCIe) 5.0 bus standard are, as a class, the speediest consumer solid-state drives out there. (The best of them promise peak throughput speeds double those of ...
