The “Meet the PCI-SIG® Members” blog series is a way to highlight our diverse global membership that makes PCI-SIG what it is today. PCI-SIG members help to advance and promote PCI Express® (PCIe®) technology innovation in the industry, while receiving a variety of benefits.

The storage landscape is rapidly evolving, led by advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and High-Performance Computing (HPC). These applications generate massive amounts of data that must be instantaneously processed, stored and analyzed in real time.

In 2022, PCI-SIG® introduced PCI Express® (PCIe®) 5.0 Compliance Testing to members. PCIe 5.0 specification official testing includes a maximum link speed of 32 GT/s.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The PCI-SIG Serial Enabling Workgroup (called the “SEG” for short) is the PCI-SIG workgroup charged with running the PCI Express^® (PCIe^®) compliance program.
