PLDA to demonstrate a record PCIe 4.0 system

New PCIe 4.0 Development Platform Unveiled at PCI-SIG DevCon in Santa Clara, California

SAN JOSE, Calif., Jun. 28, 2016 – 

PLDA, the industry leader in PCI Express interface IP solutions today announces a demonstration of the industry's first development platform for PCIe 4.0. This exclusive demonstration can be viewed in PLDA's booth at PCI-SIG DevCon, being held in Santa Clara, California on June 28-29, 2016.

The PLDA Gen4SWITCH™ Platform Development Kit achieves a record throughput of 18 GB/s in the demonstration. PLDA's platform includes PLDA's XpressSWITCH IP, a multiport embedded Switch IP that enables a connection between a PCIe 3.0 upstream port and three PCIe 4.0 x4 agents. In this demonstration, three software applications are running in parallel, one for each Endpoint, measuring the Read/Write data throughput in direct or peer-to-peer mode.

According to Arnaud Schleich, CEO and Chairman of PLDA Group, "PLDA is proud to be at the forefront of PCIe 4.0 development with this architectural achievement. With the level of performance that the PLDA PCIe 4.0 Gen4SWITCH Platform Development Kit delivers, PLDA can help provide significant time-to-market and early integration and testing benefits for the most advanced PCIe customers."
