2005 PCI-SIG Asia-Pacific Developers Conference in Beijing, Tokyo and Taipei; Conference Sessions Present Newest PCI-SIG Specifications Direct from Authors and Architects.PORTLAND, Ore. -- The PCI-SIG(R), the Special Interest Group responsible for PCI Express A high-speed peripheral interconnect from Intel introduced in 2002. Note that although sometimes abbreviated "PCX," PCI Express is not the same as "PCI-X" (see PCI-SIG and PCI-X for comparison). As a result of the confusion, "PCI-E" or "PCIe" is the accepted abbreviation. (TM) architecture, today announced the 2005 PCI-SIG Asia-Pacific Developers Conferences to take place in Beijing April 11 and 12; in Tokyo on April 15; and in Taipei on April 18, 2005. The conferences offer intensive technical sessions to engineers who are developing with PCI-SIG technologies in increasingly key technology development regions. PCI-SIG experts, including some of the original authors and architects of both PCI Express and PCI-X (PCI eXtended) An enhanced PCI bus technology originally developed by IBM, HP and Compaq that is backward compatible with existing PCI cards. PCI and 32-bit PCI-X slots are physically the same, and PCI cards can plug into PCI-X slots. 2.0 specifications, will lead the training sessions on the core architecture, protocol definitions, electrical signaling and compliance requirements Compliance requirements are a series of directives established by United States Federal government agencies that summarize hundreds of Federal laws and regulations applicable to Federal assistance (also known as Federal aid or Federal funds). for these PCI-SIG technologies. In addition to technical sessions, the following leading companies will showcase the latest developments and designs based on PCI-SIG technologies: --ATI Technologies, Inc. --LeCroy Corporation --LSI Logic Corporation --Mentor Graphics Corp --PLD Applications --SiS --Synopsys, Inc. "The Asia-Pacific region is very important to PCI-SIG and we are committed to enabling our local members to successfully develop products using these technologies," said Tony Pierce, chairman of the PCI-SIG. "Hardware design engineers, driver developers, engineering managers and systems architects in all areas of the computing and communications fields will find this an invaluable and timely event." Registration For the PCI-SIG's inaugural visit to China, a special half-day introductory session will be offered in Beijing on April 11. This event is open to anyone -- including companies that are not currently members of the PCI-SIG. Developers in Beijing will find more information available by visiting http://www.pcisig.com/events/devconapac05/beijing/beijing_signup/. All developers are also welcome to attend the events in Tokyo and Taipei. Member companies receive free admittance Admittance The ratio of the current to the voltage in an alternating-current circuit. In terms of complex current I and voltage V, the admittance of a circuit is given by Eq. (1), and is related to the impedance of the circuit Z by Eq. (2). to the conferences.

(2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). specifications before they are released to the industry. If you are interested in becoming a member, please visit the PCI-SIG Web site at www.pcisig.com/membership. PCI-SIG members develop and maintain PCI Express specifications and are actively involved in defining compliance criteria and checklists, as well as other technical enabling collateral. As an additional and extremely valuable benefit of PCI-SIG membership, members are given the right to receive patent licenses from any other member of our organization with necessary claims of patent embodied within our specifications. These licenses may be limited in scope to an implementation of a particular specification, but must be granted to all members on reasonable and non-discriminatory terms. The proper use of the PCI Express trademark and logo by members in product promotion is described in the PCI-SIG logo usage guidelines available at http://www.pcisig.com/developers/procedures/logos. About the PCI-SIG The PCI-SIG is the Special Interest Group that owns and manages PCI specifications as open industry standards. The organization defines and implements new industry standard I/O standard I/O - standard input/output (Input/Output) specifications as the industry's local I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output needs evolve. The PCI Special Interest Group was formed in 1992, and the organization became a nonprofit corporation nonprofit corporation n. an organization incorporated under state laws and approved by both the state's Secretary of State and its taxing authority as operating for educational, charitable, social, religious, civic or humanitarian purposes. , officially named "PCI-SIG" in the year 2000. Currently, more than 900 industry-leading companies are active PCI-SIG members worldwide. The PCI-SIG's current directors are employed by the following PCI-SIG member companies: AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, www.amd.com) A major manufacturer of semiconductor devices including x86-compatible CPUs, embedded processors, flash memories, programmable logic devices and networking chips. , Broadcom, HP, IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) , Intel, LSI LSI: see integrated circuit. (Large Scale Integration) Between 3,000 and 100,000 transistors on a chip. See SSI, MSI, VLSI and ULSI. Logic, Microsoft, Phoenix Technologies, and Texas Instruments See TI. (company) Texas Instruments - (TI) A US electronics company. A TI engineer, Jack Kilby invented the integrated circuit in 1958. Three TI employees left the company in 1982 to start Compaq. .
