ADVISORY/StarGen to Discuss PCI Express and Advanced Switching at Hot Interconnects; 11th Annual Show Devoted to Dialogue on High Performance Interconnects.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers ADVISORY...for Wednesday Wednesday: see week. - Friday Friday: see Sabbath; week. Friday young Indian rescued by Crusoe and kept as servant and companion. [Br. Lit.: Robinson Crusoe] See : Servant (Aug. 20-22) --(BUSINESS WIRE) StarGen
WHO: David Mayhew and Venkata Krishnan of StarGen were invited to
deliver a presentation based on their paper, "PCI Express and
Advanced Switching: Evolutionary Path to Building Next
Generation Interconnects." Mayhew is chief architect and vice
president of software engineering at StarGen - as well as the
co-inventor of its StarFabric interconnect architecture.
Krishnan is StarGen's hardware architect.
WHAT: A fabless semiconductor company that supplies advanced serial
switched interconnect solutions, StarGen recently unveiled the
development of a new line of products, the StarXpress family
of bridges and switches, which will connect to PCI Express(TM)
and Advanced Switching, Its StarFabric bridges and switch
products are currently in full-production, with its most
recent addition, the SG3010, TDM-to-StarFabric bridge in
sample availability.
WHERE: Hot Interconnects 11 (www.hoti.org), sponsored by the IEEE
Computer Society Technical Committee on Microprocessors and
Microcomputers, will take place at Stanford University,
Stanford, CA. The show aims to providing a balance for the
engineers involved in the software and hardware arenas. Hot
Interconnects brings together designers and architects of
high-performance chips, software, and systems at the academic
and global business levels - aiming to provide a balance for
engineers involved in the software and hardware arenas.
Presentations focus on up-to-the-minute developments
demonstrating leading-edge designs by engineers and
researchers throughout the world.
WHEN: The conference will take place from Wednesday through Friday,
August 20-22, 2003. Specifically, StarGen's presentation will
be on Wednesday, the 20th, from 10:15 a.m. to noon.
About StarGen StarGen is a semiconductor company providing advanced serial switched interconnect (1) To attach one device to another. (2) A physical port (plug, socket) or wireless port (transmitter, receiver) used to attach one device to another. solutions for compute To perform mathematical operations or general computer processing. For an explanation of "The 3 C's," or how the computer processes data, see computer. and communications equipment. It is the leading designer of low-overhead, protocol-agnostic, open standards-based serial switched architectures, which enable system designers to bring new capabilities to their system while using existing standards-based parts. StarGen's currently shipping StarFabric product line benefits vendors of access communication platforms for voice, data, and video networks as well as vendors of embedded systems Embedded systems Computer systems that cannot be programmed by the user because they are preprogrammed for a specific task and are buried within the equipment they serve. needing enhanced switched PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). capability. StarGen is also currently developing StarXpress, a complementary line of products built upon the Advanced Switching standard and compatible with 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). These products will be ideal solutions for blade server A server architecture that houses multiple server modules ("blades") in a single chassis. It is widely used in datacenters to save space and improve system management. Either self-standing or rack mounted, the chassis provides the power supply, and each blade has its own CPU, memory and , storage, and mid-range communications applications. StarGen's switched interconnect products provide a dramatic increase in equipment performance, scalability, reliability, and Quality of Service while maintaining 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. to existing standards based hardware and software. StarGen (www.stargen.com) is headquartered in Marlborough, MA. Note to editors: PCI Express is a trademark of PCI-SIG. |
