From the Publisher: This book offers an introduction to PCI Express, a new I/O technology for desktop, mobile, server and communications platforms designed to allow increasing levels of computer system performance. Hardware and software developers will discover how to employ PCI Express technology to overcome the practical performance limits of existing multi-drop, parallel bus technology. Introduction to PCI Express explains critical technical considerations that both hardware and software developers need to understand to take full advantage of PCI Express technology in next generation systems. Learn about: Metrics and criteria for developers and product planners to consider in adopting PCI Express Applications for desktop, mobile, server and communications platforms that will benefit significantly from PCI Express technology Implications for hardware and software developers of the layered architecture of PCI Express Features of PCI Express available in legacy software environments Comparison of features of PCI Express, PCI-X and PCI New form factors mechanical designs enabled by PCI Express

Performance evaluation of InfiniBand with PCI Express
HOTI '04: Proceedings of the High Performance Interconnects, 2004. on Proceedings. 12th Annual IEEE SymposiumWe present an initial performance evaluation of InfiniBand HCAs (host channel adapters) from Mellanox with PCI Express interfaces. We compare the performance with HCAs using PCI-X interfaces. Our results show that InfiniBand HCAs with PCI Express can ...
Evaluating InfiniBand Performance with PCI Express
InfiniBand host channel adapters (HCAs) with PCI Express achieve 20 to 30 percent lower latency for small messages compared with HCAs using 64-bit, 133-MHz PCI-X interfaces. PCI Express also improves performance at the MPI level, achieving a latency of ...
