PCI-X is the successor to the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Bus Specification, the current standard that enables communication between peripheral devices and the computer processor. A major improvement over the older PCI technology, PCI-X enables significantly higher performance with transfer rates of up to 1.06 GB per second. " PCI-X System Architecture " is a detailed and comprehensive guide to the PCI-X technology. It highlights the many changes and improvements from PCI 2.2 to PCI-X, so that you can build on your PCI knowledge to master PCI-X with greater ease. The book discusses the drawbacks of PCI and how PCI-X solves these problems, achieving faster transfer rates. In addition, it presents in-depth information and practical guidance on the PCI-X transaction protocol, device configuration for PCI-X, load tuning, PCI-X bridges, error detection and handling, and electrical issues. You will find specific information on such key topics as: Device types and bus initialization, including Hot-Plug PCI-X initialization Dword and burst commands Bus arbitration, latency rules, and burst transactions Transaction termination Split completion messages 64-bit transactions Bridge and non-bridge configuration registers Load tuning, including adjustable fields and registers, split completion buffers, and adjusting timeslice values PCI-X to PCI-X bridges Handling master abort, attribute phase parity errors, and split read errors Anyone who designs or tests hardware or software that involves the PCI-X bus will find "PCI-X System Architecture" an essential resource for understanding and working with this important technology.
