ADVISORY/PCI-X Demo at Applied Computing Conference & Expo 2000; The PCI SIG to demonstrate advanced I/O technology.Business Editors/High Tech Writers ADVISORY...for May 23-24 --(BUSINESS WIRE) WHAT: The PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). Special Interest Group will provide a hands-on demonstration of the latest 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. technology at ACDC ACDC Alternating Current/Direct Current ACDC [not an acronym] slang for bisexuality ACDC Asian Community Development Corporation (Boston, MA) ACDC Agricultural Communications Documentation Center 2000, at the Santa Clara Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. Convention Center. Roger Tipley, Chairman of the PCI SIG, will present the demonstrations during exhibition hours at the PCI SIG booth (911). The demonstration will highlight PCI-X performance enhancements and backward compatibility See backward compatible. (jargon) backward compatibility - Able to share data or commands with older versions of itself, or sometimes other older systems, particularly systems it intends to supplant. with standard PCI drivers. Don't miss this exciting first look at PCI-X! WHERE: Applied Computing Conference & Expo 2000, Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa Clara, CA, PCI SIG Booth 911 EXHIBIT HOURS: Tuesday, May 23rd, 1:30 p.m.-7:00 p.m. Wednesday, May 24th, 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. Rsvp and Press Interviews: To schedule a one-on-one PCI-X demonstration at the booth or an interview with Roger Tipley, PCI SIG Chairman, please contact Ted Roduner, 503/225-0725, ext. 250 or tedr@mkinc.com. CONFERENCE INFORMATION: For more information about ACDC 2000, please visit the site at www.annabooks.com/confer/ . About PCI-X PCI-X is a backward compatible high-performance extension to the PCI Local Bus and is the first 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 industry standard to break the 1 Gbyte/sec barrier in sustainable bandwidth. PCI-X provides an immediate solution to the increased I/O requirements for high-bandwidth applications such as Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, Ultra3 SCSI and high-performance graphics. PCI-X supports 32-bit and 64-bit operations at frequencies up to 133 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. , allowing performance capability of over 1 Gbyte/sec data throughput. About The PCI SIG Formed in June 1992, PCI SIG is the industry organization that owns and manages the PCI Local Bus specification. More than 850 industry-leading companies are active PCI SIG members. The organization is chartered to support new requirements while preserving backwards compatibility for all PCI revisions, maintaining the specification as an easy-to-implement, stable technology, and contributing to the technical longevity of PCI and its establishment as an industry-wide standard.
