Introduced as the industry’s first PC-based multifunction data acquisition devices for PCI Express, the NI PCIe-6251 and NI PCIe-6259 DAQ cards combine the high-performance PCI Express bus with the ...

PCI Express (PCIe) has been around since 2003, and in that time it has managed to become the primary data interconnect for not only expansion cards, but also high-speed external devices. What also ...

In typical PCIe based systems, PCIe busses are enumerated and resources allocated to each PCIe endpoint device during system initialization. Due to limitations in the enumeration and resource ...

Although the ability to expand a home computer with more RAM, storage and other features has been around for as long as home computers exist, it wasn’t until the IBM PC that the concept of a fully ...

The PCIe, or Peripheral Component Interconnect Express standard, has been around for nearly 20 years. It was an upgrade to the earlier PCI bus, developed by Intel and introduced in 1992. The bus ...

Multicast, a technique commonly used in networking systems, allows a given processing unit to send a single data stream to multiple destinations at the same time efficiently. Typically, the switch ...

In today’s world, when the entire computing industry is talking about high-performance and high-speed applications using FPGAs, what are the factors that can assure such performance and speed? The ...

Each of the DMA slices exists in a separate, nonoverlapping I/O address space in the PCI-bus space. You need a mapping function that translates legacy accesses to the new distributed-DMA I/O addresses ...
