PCI-SIG® is excited to invite members back to our annual PCI-SIG U.S. Developers Conference (DevCon) in the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA from June 13-14.

PCI-SIG® is comprised of multiple technical work groups (TWGs) that develop PCI Express® (PCIe®) technology. Work groups are open to all PCI-SIG member company representatives and allow companies to shape current and future PCIe specifications.

The PCI-SIG® Developers Conference returned to Taipei, Taiwan for the first time since 2019 on Feb. 20-21 at the Taipei Marriott Hotel. With 674 total attendees, it was the highest-ever turnout for a DevCon.

It’s hard to believe it’s been 30 years since PCI-SIG® formed in 1992.

Following the release of the PCI Express® (PCIe®) 6.0 specification to members earlier this year, PCI-SIG® had the unique opportunity to participate in three IT industry podcasts.

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® has continued to host PCI Express® (PCIe®) Compliance Workshops throughout 2021 as we recognize that they are an important member benefit.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

The first installment of the PCI-SIG^® educational webinar series, “Retimers to the Rescue: PCI Express^® Specifications Reach Their Full Potential” premiered on October 9, 2019.

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.

Retimers and redrivers have enabled longer physical channels in servers and storage systems since Peripheral Component Interface Express (PCIe^®) 3.0 specification was first introduced almost 10 years ago.

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.

I am pleased to announce that PCI Express^® 5.0 specification, Version 1.0— reaching 32GT/s transfer rates—has been released to our members in less than 2 years.

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! 

This is already shaping up to be a busy year for PCI-SIG^® with the pending release of the PCI Express^® 5.0 specification targete
