PCIe 6.0: From IP To Interconnect In High-Performance Computing
The full PCIe® 6.0 specification in nearing completion. The latest 0.9 version provides details on increased system data rate to 64 GT/s, doubling the throughput from PCIe 5.0. Additionally, the latest version further explains PAM4 encoding, FLIT-based encoding, and low-latency FEC to improve bandwidth efficiency. In this video, Ralph Page, System Architect at Samtec, walks us through a demonstration of a prototypical PCIe 6.0 AI hardware design based on the GenZ-PECFF form factor. Working … [Read more...]
New NovaRay Front Panel I/O Outperforms QSFP-DD
A new demonstration platform combines 112 Gbps PAM4 silicon from our partner Alphawave, with Samtec’s extreme performance, extreme density NovaRay® I/O front panel interconnect system. In this video from SC21 (Super Computing 2021), Samtec's Matt Burns walks us through the demonstration and explains that while they have essentially the same channel loss, the Samtec NovaRay I/O system provides twice the cable length and twice the density of QSFP-DD. Alphawave’s latest SerDes silicon … [Read more...]
Samtec and Synopsys Talk PCIe 6.0® Solutions for HPC Applications
PCI Express® (PCIe) is the backbone interface for connecting high-speed components in modern computing. Desktop PC motherboards connect to graphics cards, RAID cards, Wi-Fi cards or SSD add-on cards via any number of PCIe expansion slots. Current desktop, laptop, server and gaming computing platforms leverage PCIe 4.0 (8 GT/s) infrastructure. Looking forward, chipsets solutions from Intel, AMD, Nvidia and others feature native PCIe 5.0 (16 GT/s) support. Also, PCIe 5.0 capable motherboards, … [Read more...]
VITA 42.0 XMC Updates: A Refreshed Standard and New Optical XMC Modules
Open standards simplify system design while offering robust ecosystems of solutions providers. Even as open standards are adopted across industries and platforms, updates are needed from time-to-time. For example, take ANSI/VITA 42.0-2021 XMC. VITA 42.0 XMC defines a popular mezzanine card architecture using a PCIe interconnect to host carrier modules. XMC modules attach to various form factors including SOSA PICs, PXIe, VPX, PCIe and others. As PCIe increases in speed, standards using the … [Read more...]
