Moore’s Law might be slowing down CPU compute capacity increases in recent years, but the innovation has been coming at a steady drumbeat for the interconnects used inside servers and between nodes in ...

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 ...

The standards body responsible for the PCI Express bus is cruising right along towards PCI Express 6.0, the next-generation standard that is still on track for a finalized specification in 2021. As ...

The PCI standards group PCI-SIG (Special Interest Group) comprised of AMD, Intel, NVIDIA, and other technology bigwigs announced it has finalized the specifications for the PCI Express 4.0 standard.

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 ...

We've jumped many chasms over the past three decades of server-based computing. In the 1990s, we went from single-socket standalone servers to clusters. Then with the millennium, we first saw ...

A boundary-scan test and in-circuit programming controller card from Corelis, the PCIe-1149.1, enables board testing and in-system programming of CPLDs, FPGAs, and flash memory devices approaching ...

Bothell, Wash. — Allied Telesis has released the 2972 series of fiber Gigabit network interface cards (NICs) that use the new PCI Express (PCIe) bus for improved performance. The company says an ...

Having proven that its technology is patentable, Microlinc LLC has filed suit against ten large computing firms claiming patent infringement through use of the PCI Express bus. Filed this week in the ...

This is a sort of "what if?" kind of thing. I've noticed that PCIe 3.0 x16 tops out at 15.75GB/s while DDR3-1600 runs at 12.8GB/s. Aside from having to make an entirely new memory controller, it makes ...
