As the industry transitions from traditional, bus-based shared I/O schemes with system synchronous clocking (such as PCI), point-to-point system interconnects that use serial I/O technologies are fast ...

Stuff using PCI Express 5.0 is still coming out, while the PCI Express 6.0 spec is already finalized and will show up in PC parts eventually. But have you thought about what's next after it? The PCI ...

While there are plenty of distributed applications that are going to chew through the hundreds of gigabits per second of bandwidth per port that modern Ethernet or InfiniBand ASICs deliver inside of ...

Today's router and switch designers face a daunting task. They must build systems that support high availability while also efficiently and cost-effectively guiding network traffic through a mesh of ...

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 ...

Integrating PCI Express into a design requires verifying that the product is compliant to the PCI Express specification and interoperable with other PCI Express devices. To lower integration risk and ...

Q: What is PCI Express? A: PCI Express is a scalable, high-speed, point-to-point serial interface designed to replace PCI. Also known as PCIe, it features power ...

The roadmap is clear, even though travel won't start for a while. PCI Express Base hardware will emerge near the end of the year, with switch-fabric shipments not expected until 2004. The Advanced ...

Specifications for two new interconnect technologies were released yesterday by the Peripheral Component Interconnect-Special Interest Group (PCI-SIG), the group said in a press release (download PDF) ...
