Nucleus PCI-X Allows Developers to Extend Speed and Bandwidth of Current PCI Solutions
Business-critical applications continue to demand greater bandwidth and shorter response times from the I/O subsystems of enterprise computers. As faster and more complex I/O devices such as Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, Ultra3 small computer system interface (SCSI) and multi-port network interface controllers (NICs) appear on the market, conventional PCI bus technology frequently becomes a performance bottleneck.
The Nucleus PCI-X software extends PCI-X technology by helping increase the speed and bandwidth of current PCI solutions in order to address the requirements for higher, 10- Gigabit I/O performance. Providing easy transition and simple migration, the Nucleus PCI-X software ensures investment protection by offering backward compatibility with existing PCI-based systems and a stable and complementary technology roadmap for future I/O standard system architectures. This means that existing PCI cards and software can be reused. Also, developers familiar with PCI technology will require minimal training as PCI-X technology builds on previous standards.
"PCI-X bus technology speed has steadily increased to more than 30 times that of the original PCI bus, causing I/O performance issues in higher bandwidth applications. Using our Nucleus PCI-X software, embedded software engineers can quickly address those issues to gain a greater edge on their competition," said Robert Day, director of marketing, Mentor Graphics Embedded Systems Division.
