In today’s hyper-connected world of seamlessly integrated devices, systems and infrastructure, cybersecurity threats are becoming more sophisticated every day. It is important that the industry continue to improve security protection starting at the hardware level.

As the complexity of computer workloads in the automotive market increase, so does the sophistication of computers in vehicles, along with the interconnect performance requirements. A unique emerging challenge is Automotive Functional Safety (FuSA).

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.

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

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.

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.

PCI Express^® (PCIe^®) technology is the most important high-speed serial bus in servers. Due to its high bandwidth and low latency characteristics, PCI Express architecture is widely used in various server interconnect scenarios, such as:

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.

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

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