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.

Introduction

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.

PCI-SIG® built upon our momentum from 2020 with another successful year in 2021. From progress on the PCIe 5.0 architecture compliance program to the impending release of the PCIe 6.0 specification, we have hit many exciting milestones.

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 CXL™ Consortium and PCI-SIG® are excited to announce a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the two organizations.

With the widespread adoption of compute-intensive workloads – such as artificial intelligence and machine learning – in enterprise and cloud data centers, high-speed, low-latency interconnects like PCI Express^® architecture are required to connect high-performance nodes.

Despite the many challenges in 2020, we are proud to report that it has been a successful year for, PCI-SIG^®.  We continued the momentum started in 2019 with PCIe^® 4.0 Compliance Testing, continued work on the PCIe 6.0 specification, and brought our members new ways to engag

Wow, 2020 sure has transformed the ways we connect, learn and innovate in industries around the world, and in our daily lives!

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.

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.

PCI Express^® (PCIe^®) technology is deployed worldwide by PCI-SIG member companies, so it only makes sense that PCI-SIG^® travels around the globe too.

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.

PCI-SIG^® is proud to announce that we have established a working relationship with DMTF to simplify hardware management.

This June 18-19, PCI-SIG and its 800+ member companies return to the Santa Clara Convention Center for the largest member event of the year: the Annual Members Meeting and Developers Conference.

Whew, what a week! That’s another PCI-SIG Developers Conference in the books though.

I’m pleased to share that PCI-SIG has released the PCIe 4.0 Specification Version 1.0 and it is now available for download on our website.
