During the PCI-SIG® US DevCon 2022, the PCI-SIG Board of Directors surprised two individuals for their years of service and contributions to the development and expansion of PCI Express® (PCIe®) technology.

With the ever-growing importance of security, we continue to see strong industry interest in Integrity and Data Encryption (IDE). As with any new technology, questions have been raised and addressed through new errata.

Introduction

For nearly three decades, PCI Express® (PCIe®) technology has served as the de facto high bandwidth, low latency interconnect. As the industry evolves to meet the needs of data-intensive applications, the PCIe specification has kept pace, enabling future innovation.

We are pleased to commence 2022 on a high note with the official release of the PCI Express® (PCIe®) 6.0 specification to members.

I am excited to report that PCI-SIG has released PCIe 6.0 specification, version 0.9 to our members. This is a major milestone in our continued effort to double the data rate of the PCI Express® specifications while maintaining backwards compatibility.

The upcoming PCIe® 6.0 specification introduces Flow Control Unit (FLIT) encoding, which enables the specification to provide low latency with high efficiency. FLIT mode is adopted for the PCIe 6.0 architecture because error correction needs to operate on fixed sized packets.

As part of our ongoing effort to broaden the adoption and deployment of PCI Express^® (PCIe^®) technology into diverse industry verticals, the PCI-SIG^® Board of Directors recently announced the PCI-SIG Automotive Taskforce.

Given the shift to virtual events this year, PCI-SIG^® has adapted to a primarily digital world via various online initiatives like educational webinars, blogs and more.

The PCI Express^® (PCIe^®) 6.0 specification will feature two primary mechanisms to correct errors: Forward Error Correction (FEC) and Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC). Each 256-byte FLIT comprises of 242 bytes of payload which are protected by 8 Bytes of CRC.

The upcoming PCI Express^® (PCIe^®) 6.0 specification will continue PCI-SIG’s^® longstanding history of innovation for the next generation of products to keep up with evolving needs in a wide range of markets.

One of the many new features included in the PCI Express^® (PCIe^®) specification will be PAM4 (Pulse Amplitude Modulation with 4 levels) signaling.

For almost two decades, the PCI Express^® (PCIe^®) architecture has offered low latency and high bandwidth in support of next generation systems.

Before the emergence of autonomous driving, our cars provided isolation from the outside world. We could move from point A to point B with the press of a pedal and a Mapquest print-out in the passenger seat.

Each year, over 800 PCI-SIG^® member companies are invited to attend the PCI-SIG U.S. Developers Conference.

At this year’s Open Compute Project Global Summit in San Jose on March 4 -5, attendees will have the opportunity to learn how PCI Express^® (PCIe^®) specifications enable OCP systems today and how newer versions of

We are starting 2020 with the release of version 0.5 of the PCI Express^® (PCIe^®) 6.0 specification incorporating the significant member feedback received on version 0.3.

As I look back on 2019, I’m proud to report that it has been a banner year for PCI-SIG^®.

From Israel to Europe and Japan to Taiwan, the PCI-SIG^® Israel, Europe and APAC 2019 Developers Conference tour has come to an end for the year.

I’m pleased to share that PCI-SIG^® continues to make great progress on the development of our next generation of PCIe^® technology – the 

Earlier this month, I attended another eventful Flash Memory Summit (FMS) and I am pleased to say that PCI Express^® (PCIe^®) was around every corner at this year’s event.

This year’s Flash Memory Summit (FMS) is coming up on August 6. As PCI Express technologies continue to evolve and make strides in the industry, PCI-SIG^® is excited to highlight our participation in the growth of flash storage.

The SD Association (SDA) recently announced SD Express, which adds the PCI Express^® and NVMe™ interfaces to the SD interface. The PCIe^® interface delivers transfer rates up to 985 megabytes per second (MB/s) and supports backward compatibility with existing SD hosts.

Another PCI-SIG Developers Conference has come and gone, and we had a whopping 600+ member company attendees at this year’s event in Santa Clara.

I am happy to share that PCI-SIG^® has begun developing the PCI Express^® (PCIe^®) 6.0 specification, targeted for release in 2021.

On January 22, 2019, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency issued an emergency directive to mitigate DNS infrastructure tampering intended to disrupt and redirect government and business communications.

his year, I was lucky enough to be able to attend and present at the Open Compute Project Summit and though it has come and gone by now, I’m already looking forward to the next one! 

PCI Express (PCIe^®) has been widely adopted in a number of applications that range from small, power-constrained IoT sensors and mobile devices to servers and networking and communications equipment.

I’m looking forward to attending the Flash Memory Summit (FMS) next week in Santa Clara.
