PCI Express (PCIe) is the next-generation peripheral bus for industrial computing. It provides a scaleable, high-bandwidth, point-to-point pathway between peripheral cards and the computing core while ...

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 ...

It’s probably been a while since you’ve dealt with your computer’s motherboard. You don’t have to, as long as you simply sit at your PC or notebook and carry out everyday tasks. However, if you want ...

For memory-intensive and high-performance computing, direct memory access (DMA) is indispensable. A typical DMA operation in PCI Express (PCIe) entails the transfer of data from the system memory to ...

“System designers can now tap into the wide range of available PMC FPGA and I/O modules when developing advanced computing systems on a PC platform with a PCI Express bus,” explained Joseph Primeau, ...

Most enthusiasts know that a PC’s CPU will throttle down to prevent overheating. GPUs and even most PCIe 50. SSDs ship with huge heat sinks and blowers. But the latest casualty of thermal throttling ...

PCIe 6.0 implementations are expandable and hierarchical with embedded switches or switch chips, allowing one root port to interface with multiple endpoints (such as storage devices, Ethernet cards, ...
