Optimize system performance with PCIe
|
2008-05-16 |
| PCIe 2.0 is optimizing system performance in many ways. However, long read response latencies that reduce aggregate I/O performance can occur in host-centric PCIe systems when even a single endpoint reads ahead very aggressively to ensure it is never "starved" for data. PCIe Gen 2 switches feature Read Pacing to prevent this kind of performance degradation |

Solving PCIe compliance, interoperability issues
|
2008-02-01 |
| Since its inception more than five years ago, PCIe technology has become the dominant interconnect protocol across virtually all market segments. There are many challenges involved in verifying device compliance and interoperability. This article discusses these challenges, and proposes the Denali Puresuite Sofwtare Solution as the answer to them |

Pick the right bus for your apps
|
2006-08-01 |
| Engineers should consider key bus attributes such as latency, bandwidth, software support, distance support and availability when determining the appropriate bus for an application. PCIe is particularly well-suited for test and measurement. USB provides widespread availability and easy-to-use plug and play capabilities while LAN is appropriate for distributed applications with modest throughput requirements |

New formula to speed up PCB designs
|
2008-05-16 |
| PCB designers need a methodology that helps them avoid design iterations between the design and layout stages, or finding issues with the board in the lab with a physical prototype. Hemant Shah of Cadence Design Systems discusses how a "correct-by-construction" PCB layout methodology can help PCB designers shorten their design cycle. |
