PLDA’s INSPECTOR diagnostic and debug tool for PCIe 4.0 passed all Gold and Interoperability tests for systems with CEM slots

PLDA, the industry leader in PCI Express® (PCIe®) technology and high-speed interconnect solutions, today announced that their PCIe 4.0 INSPECTOR™ diagnostic and debug platform passed all Gold and Interoperability tests for the PCIe 4.0 root port systems performed by the PCI-SIG® during their Compliance Workshop, held in October 2019 in Taiwan.

In this video, we talk about the PLDA XpressRICH IP wizard which has been designed to enable PCIe designers to easily configure their PCIe controller as required for their application.

PCIe Device links as expected (L0 in x8-Gen4) but is not detected by the system

XpressSWITCH Embedded Switch IP for PCIe running on a Bittware 250S+ Near Storage Accelerator card and allowing up to 4 NVMe SSDs to be accessed simultaneously at full PCIe speed.

The combination of PLDA XpressSWITCH Switch IP for PCIe and Bittware 250s+ Storage FPGA card is the ideal solution for building intelligent storage accelerators integrating multiple NVMe SSDs in a compact PCIe form factor.

PLDA, the industry leader in PCI Express® IP and interconnect solutions, today announced a major PCIe 5.0 design win on cutting edge 5nm process node. PLDA’s PCIe 5.0 Controller IP was selected not only for its solid design and unmatched compatibility with popular PCIe PHYs, but also for PLDA’s best-in-class tech support, its ease of customization and PLDA’s integration expertise.

Here, we look at 6 reasons to choose the profession of Electronic Verification Engineer instead.

In support of immediate Gen-Z development, PLDA has released a detailed datasheet enabling designers to begin architecting and designing Gen-Z enabled SoCs. This PLDA Gen-Z IP datasheet includes the key information required for initial design including supporting features, interface description and micro architecture, gate count, performance metrics, and more.

1. Introduction

Modern enterprise workloads in AI and data analytics are driving the need for new compute and storage architectures in IT infrastructures. The growing use of accelerators (GPUs, FPGAs, custom ASICs) and emerging memory technologies (3D XPoint, Storage Class Memory, Persistent Memory), and the need to better distribute and utilize these resources are fueling the transition to composable/disaggregated infrastructures (CDI) in data centers.
