Course Overview
PCI Express is the open standards- based successor to PCI and its variants for server- and client-system I/O interconnects. Unlike PCI and PCI-X, which are based on 32- and 64-bit parallel buses, PCI Express uses high-speed serial link technology similar to that found in Gigabit Ethernet, Serial ATA (SATA), and Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS). PCI Express reflects an industry trend to replace legacy shared parallel buses with high-speed point-to-point serial buses.
Prerequisite:
Experience of a high speed digital bus like PCI / PCI-X is strongly recommended.
In this training we will discuss and cover the following
Packet switching benefits compared to shared busses are highlighted
- The course explains the various traffic types that PCI Express supports
- The use of virtual channels to match Quality of Service requirements is explained
- The course describes the discovery sequence required to initialize the switches
- The course details the various stages of the physical layer : 8b10b and 128/130b coding, scrambling, elastic buffer, clock recovery and link training sequence
- The course highlight the differences between the 4 generations of PCI Express
