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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

As the industry transitions from shared, arbitrated, bus-based system interconnect architectures like PCI to high-performance, serial, point-to-point architectures like PCI Express, designers are ...

There are significant differences between the PCI Express architecture and its future cousin Advanced Switching Interconnect (ASI), but contrary to popular belief, the ability to build robust ...

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) ...

PCI Express is a technology that consistently makes headlines, with new specifications boasting ever-improving performance regularly appearing in the news. It may come as a surprise, then, to learn ...

The common hardware interface in PCs, Macs and other computers for connecting peripheral devices such as storage drives and graphics cards. PCI Express (PCIe) was introduced in 2002 as "Third ...

Adopted by the PCI SIG -- the industry group that looks after the bus definitions -- PCI Express aims to be the standard bus for the next ten years or so. PCI Express is similar to classic PCI in the ...

Do you know where your traffic is? Serial protocol analyzers easily locate bits, bytes, packets, and headers. To win a trade-magazine design challenge, Ted needed to list 15 high-speed buses in order ...
