In this episode, Chris and Martin explore the recently announced PCIe 6.0 specification with Al Yanes, President and chair of the PCI Sig.  PCIe (PCI Express) has been a backbone of server and mobile technologies for almost two decades, providing high-speed interconnect for add-in cards and other peripherals.  As one example of the benefit of PCIe, the introduction of NVMe using directly connected PCIe SSDs enabled an extra boost in performance and have quickly become the de-facto standard for high-speed media.  As PCIe 6.0 is introduced, how has the technology been developed and enhanced?  In keeping with previous generations, the 6.0 specification doubles PCIe performance to 64GT/s (transfers per second), effectively 256GB/s total receive and transmit bandwidth on 16 lanes.Internally, the doubling of performance between specifications requires the use of new technologies and enhanced error correction and bus signalling.  Despite this, PCIe maintains forward and backward compatibility between the first devices introduced nearly 20 years ago and new technologies from today.

#229 – Exploring the PCIe 6.0 Specification with Al Yanes

Although not a consumable product, PCI-Special Interest Group (SIG) has announced the release of the PCIe 6.0 specification. Brian hosts Al Yanes who is the President and Chairman of the PCI-SIG and a long-time IBMer. Al is focused on the IO piece of the technology and probably knows more about PCIe than most.  Although not a consumable product, PCI-Special Interest Group (SIG) has announced the release of the PCIe 6.0 specification. Brian hosts Al Yanes who is the President and Chairman of the PCI-SIG and a long-time IBMer. Al is focused on the IO piece of the technology and probably knows more about PCIe than most.  The PCIe Gen6 specification adds new features while meeting industry demand for a high-speed, low-latency interconnect. PCIe 6.0 specification, with a 64 GT/s raw data rate, will pave the way for rapid innovation in emerging markets like the Data Center, Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning, HPC, Automotive, IoT, and Military/Aerospace. Topics covered include design aspects, profiles, and what system changes are needed to take advantage of this new release. We wrote up a news piece and posted that here.

Podcast #93 Brian Hosts Al Yanes To Talk about PCI Gen6

The PCI SIG released the specification for PCIe 6.0 in January of this year.  Long-time PCI SIG president, and IBM distinguished engineer, Al Yanes walks hosts Matt Kimball and Steve McDowell, both principal analysts at Moor Insights &amp; Strategy, through the specification, talking about what's new and different and the benefit that IT will ultimately enjoy.  Additionally, AMD and Intel each released strong earnings overall, and very strong delivery in their respective enterprise data center segments.  Matt &amp; Steve talk about what the earnings say about the current state of the processor market.  00:00 Kick it off 00:50 AMD &amp; Intel Earnings Discussion 11:20 Al Yanes walks us through PCIe 6.0 23:00 Who is the PCI SIG, anyway? And how do they operate?  25:30 PCIe and Automotive 26:44 How will enterprise IT benefit from PCIe 6.0?  33:25 When will we see PCIe 6.0 in the data center?  34:20 Matt &amp; Steve Wrap it up 35:48 We're done!Special Guest: Al Yanes.
