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.

With the emergence of autonomous vehicles, AI-based advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and in-vehicle infotainment (IVI), today’s automobiles are becoming high-tech “servers on wheels.” PCI Express® (PCIe®) technology is expanding to become the interconnect of choice in automotive applicat

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.

With global health and safety concerns related to the Covid-19 pandemic still greatly limiting in-person events in 2021, PCI-SIG^® continues to offer compliance workshop opportunities to our members virtually.

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.

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

PCI-SIG^® has shifted to virtual events for the 2020 calendar year and our first major members event was the Virtual PCI-SIG Developers Conference.

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

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.

The Internet of Things (IoT) Industry is rapidly growing in popularity and breadth of applications.

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

PCI-SIG^® has enabled PCI Express^® (PCIe^®) technology to be cost-effective and easy to implement by supporting multiple form factors for a variety of applications.

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.

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

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

At PCI-SIG, we take pride in ensuring that our specifications operate without a hitch. However, sometimes PCI Express developers need to submit Engineering Change Requests (ECRs) to update parts of the specification so that PCIe integrated products can reach their optimal functionality.

I’m happy to share that 2018 has been another productive year for PCI-SIG. In addition to significant progress in our specification development and compliance work, we also continued to provide educational resources to our members and the industry.

PCI Express^® – also known as PCIe – used to get a bad rap for being power hungry on servers and PCs. But I’m happy to say that this is no longer the case. Are you aware that PCIe today is extremely power efficient with built-in low power features?

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

I recently attended the OCP Summit for the first time and I was impressed by the size of this growing event. The San Jose Convention Center was packed with industry experts – all eager to discuss how to move the Open Compute Project (OPC) forward.
