Product Description
Product Description
The PCI-X bus will start appearing in advanced PCs within months, delivering breakthrough performance, transfer rates of up to 1.06 Gb/sec, and backward compatibility with the PCI standard. Now, there's a comprehensive guide to PCI-X, covering everything engineers and developers need to create robust, reliable PCI-X boards and software. As with all MindShare books, PCI-X System Architecture is written in an accessible, tutorial style proven to train engineers. It's based on MindShare's leading edge PCI-X course, and reflects extensive feedback and insights from hundreds of working professionals. The book presents detailed descriptions of every aspect of the PCI-X specification, including: device types and bus initialization, error detection and handling, split completion messages, and 64-bit transactions. It offers in-depth coverage of device enumeration and configuration; traffic analysis and load tuning, PCI-X bridges, electrical issues, and much more. For all computer hardware and software design engineers, and for all developers concerned with advanced PC hardware.
From the Back Cover
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.

good reference...
18 Oct 2001
Format:Paperback
the book is a great reference guide for pci-x
(a relatively new standard).
everything about this computer architecture is explained in details.the only limit is the purpose of this book, that remain in the bounds of a reference guide and not a programming & architecture guide.
the differences between pci and pci-x are clearly explained.
if you don't know anything about standard pci architecture and assembly programming,this book is not for you; but
if you are a system designer interested in pci-x, this book is a must.
