Gen-Z

Following the recent Announcement of MoU between the CXL Consortium™ and the Gen-Z Consortium™, PLDA Launches their XpressLINK™ CXL IP, providing an immediate Compute Express Link solution for SoC developers

Come and meet the PLDA Team at Supercomputing 2019 in Colorado on November 19-20-21! We are proud to be hosted on the Gen-Z consortium booth (#789) to present the first PLDA-designed demo of a Gen-Z Spec 1.0 Controller. 

Our goal is to introduce Gen-Z awesome particularities such as:

• Host-to-host communication
• Memory sharing

You will discover it with the following setup:

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.

Computer systems as we know them have been built on the paradigm that the CPU-memory pair is fast while network and storage are slow. Over the years, these components developed their own language and interfaces that require layers of software to translate memory commands into network and storage commands and vice versa.

Until now, the speed of the CPU-memory pair relative to network and storage I/O was such that these software layers had minimal impact on system performance.

However, with Moore’s law in full effect, network and storage technologies are quickly catching up with CPU-memory speeds and the burden of generations of software layers now becomes significant.

November 11-16 in Dallas, TX

The Gen-Z Consortium will be showcasing an all-new multi-vendor technology demo at Super Computing 2018 on November 11-16 in Dallas, TX. As an active member of the Gen-Z consortium, PLDA will be part of this booth. Visit the booth #4101 in Hall F to learn more about the applications for Gen-Z technology. More information coming soon!

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS IN HIGH PERFORMANCE SOC INTERFACE IP STANDARDS

PLDA®, the industry leader in PCI Express® interface IP solutions today released its XpressCCIX IP, supporting CCIX™ or Cache Coherent Interconnect for Accelerators (X). The decision to support CCIX is fueled by an increasing demand for higher throughput for PCIe-based systems, driven largely by enterprise and data center customers.

The CCIX Consortium has developed the Cache Coherent Interconnect for Accelerators (X) protocol to enable a new class of interconnect focused on emerging acceleration applications such as machine learning, network processing, storage off-load, in-memory data base and 4G/5G wireless technology.

PLDA’s strong Ecosystem and stringent 4-step integration process delivers pre-integrated and well-tested PCIe Controller and PHY solutions, solving many of the challenges and concerns faced by SoC designers
