Samtec FireFly™ PCIe® Optical Flyover Cable Assembly Fully Supports PCIe 4.0
PCIe 4.0 is just around the corner in 2017, at least according to the leading computer processor vendors. In recent months, both Intel and AMD have hinted at plans for PCIe 4.0 in future platforms. This promotes the advantages of the new standard with hopes of a wider range of applications. Here is a quick review of some of PCIe 4.0 advantages: Double the bandwidth over PCIe 3.0 from 8 GTps to 16 GTpsEnhanced power efficiencyFull backwards compatibility with previous … [Read more...]
FireFly™ Finds a Home in PCIe Expansion Cards
PCI Express continues to grow as the de facto I/O expansion bus in a number of embedded computing applications. The flexibility of the PCIe interface and the data rates it supports have spawned a number of standard PCB form factors adopted in many different applications. A common functionality added to many PCIe form factor expansion cards is optical networking. While industry standard active optical cables target typical datacom and telecom applications, a variety of high-speed I/O … [Read more...]
A Friend Features FireFly™ Micro Flyover System™
Where do engineers turn when they need unbiased, truthful and updated information to solve their problem of the day? An internet search? Social media? A video? While those are all popular and have their merits, engineers often trust friends and colleagues the latest technology trends. One of Samtec's "friends" is Avnet Abacus , one of our pan-European distributors. The highly specialized technologists at Avnet Abacus consistently provide technical insight into the markets and … [Read more...]
FireFly Enhances High Performance Computing In The Data Center
In the world of high performance computing (HPC), the growing trend of hardware accelerations enables higher system performance. This is accomplished by offloading non-core processing functions and system I/O management to a secondary CPU or FPGA. While co-located HPC acceleration develops a growing acceptance in high-end servers, a number of systems leverage hardware acceleration via high speed serial busses like PCIe. In some systems, the PCIe-enabled hardware accelerators are found … [Read more...]
