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 ...

Supercomputers are expensive, and getting increasingly so. Even if they are delivering impressive performance gains over the past decade, modern HPC workloads require an incredible amount of ...

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 ...

PCI Express (PCIe) has been around since 2003, and in that time it has managed to become the primary data interconnect for not only expansion cards, but also high-speed external devices. What also ...

Design teams today must implement PCIe solutions that meet both active and low idle power requirements of today’s power sensitive markets, especially mobile and battery operated applications. The ...

This vendor-written tech primer has been edited by Network World to eliminate product promotion, but readers should note it will likely favor the submitter’s approach. Optical solutions can be a key ...

The role the high-bandwidth, low-latency PCI Express (PCIe) interconnect in the IoT space. How PCIe architecture is used in IoT segments such as edge computing, test equipment, embedded/industrial PCs ...

USB 3.0, SATA III, and 6-Gbit/s SAS are the next-generation peripheral and storage subsystem interfaces. Shipping now, they take advantage of PCI Express Gen 2 platforms. PCI Express Gen 2 runs at 5 ...

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 ...

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) ...

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 ...
