This video, from the AI Hardware Summit, shows a prototypical Gen-Z PECFF demonstration based on PCIe 6.0, at 64 GT/s. It shows PCB connectors and twinax cable systems, with performance capabilities eminently suitable for AI hardware applications. It’s a Gen-Z backplane with Gen-Z Add-In-Cards (AIC) with top card connectivity. This emulates industry standard AI Acceleration hardware platforms. It’s a configurable, scalable system featuring high-speed cable assemblies, high-speed edge … [Read more...]
Gen-Z Enables Heterogeneous Computing Networks
Digitization! Everyday, more of our daily life - work, play, sleep, food, entertainment and more - seems to have an online component. The coronavirus pandemic has accelerated the digitization trend - "Zoom me!" However, digitization has been ongoing for decades. A foundation of daily digitization goes back to Moore's law. CPUs are denser and faster than ever before. Computing networks based on x86 system architectures live on in laptops, workstations, servers and any number of embedded … [Read more...]
