Advanced Switching Interconnect --ASI-- SIG President Rajeev Kumar to Speak at SUPERCOMM's ``Battle for the Backplane'' AdvancedTCA Track Session.
What: ATCA "Battle for the Backplane: PICMG 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5"
Track Session.
Who: Rajeev Kumar, ASI SIG's president and Intel's Switch
Fabric initiatives manager.
Where: SUPERCOMM 2004: AdvancedTCA(R) Track Session (Chicago)
McCormick Place, Room S504.
When: Wednesday, June 23, 2004, 4:45 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. CDT.
Details: ASI SIG's Rajeev Kumar will participate in a free forum
discussion that explores AdvancedTCA(R) (Advanced
Telecommunications Computing Architecture) in ways never
before done in a public venue. The "Battle for the
Backplane" session will focus on moving beyond the
speculation of the physical PICMG 3.0 standard, to
address how the backplane will be used in the near
future. Many visionary concepts will be considered, such
as Universal Mesh Fabrics, Supercomputers the size of a
refrigerator and the true meaning of convergence between
computing and networking.
The "Battle for the Backplane An interconnecting device that has sockets for printed circuit boards to plug into. Passive and Active Although resistors may be used, a "passive" backplane adds no processing in the circuit. " session will be moderated by Eric M. Mantion at In-Stat/MDR. Other panelists will include Ian Dunn from Mercury Computers (RapidIO representative) and Kevin Deierling from Mellanox Technologies (InfiniBand representative). Kumar serves as the president of ASI ASI, n See Anxiety Sensitivity Index. SIG and also manages the Advanced Switching initiative within Intel. Over the last 11 years at Intel, Kumar has held a variety of marketing and engineering roles related to communications and networking. He has spoken at industry events such as the Intel Developers Forum, Communications Design Conference and Bus and Boards Conference. He holds degrees in BSEE BSEE abbr. Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Northwestern University Northwestern University, mainly at Evanston, Ill.; coeducational; chartered 1851, opened 1855 by Methodists. In 1873 it absorbed Evanston College for Ladies. and MSEE MSEE Master of Science in Electrical Engineering MSEE Mean Square Estimation Error MSEE Major Source Enforcement Effort MSEE Materials Science and Electrical Engineering (Purdue University building) from University of Nevada, Reno The University of Nevada, Reno (Nevada or UNR) is a university located in Reno, Nevada, USA, and is known for its programs in agricultural research, animal biotechnology, and mining-related engineering and natural sciences. . About the ASI SIG The Advanced Switching Interconnect SIG (ASI SIG) is a non-profit collaborative trade organization tasked with developing and supporting a switched interconnect and data fabric interface specification for communications, storage and embedded Inserted into. See embedded system. equipment, termed Advanced Switching Interconnect (ASI), based on the 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. architecture. The ASI SIG's board of directors and members, comprised of industry leading equipment manufacturers and semiconductor and tools vendors, has surpassed 50 members to date. In addition to ongoing technical development of the specification, these member companies help to define, develop and market ASI. Different membership levels provide differing levels of influence, involvement and responsibility. The overall tasks performed by the members of the SIG include establishing broad industry awareness, ongoing technical development and enabling rapid industry adoption through training programs, ecosystem development and interoperability The capability of two or more hardware devices or two or more software routines to work harmoniously together. For example, in an Ethernet network, display adapters, hubs, switches and routers from different vendors must conform to the Ethernet standard and interoperate with each other. and compliance testing. The board of directors includes Agere, Alcatel, Huawei, Intel, Siemens, Vitesse and Xilinx. More information can be found at www.asi-sig.org. |
