Training book unveils
PCI Express architecture
"PCI Express system architecture" is the latest technical reference publication from technical training provider MindShare
The 1000-page book, published by Addison-Wesley and available from 6th September (through amazon.com and many other bookstores, as well as electronically via ebooks.com), delivers a system designer's perspective on PCI Express technology, providing readers with essential content not just for understanding the technology but also for its implementation.

Organised with all relevant issues crossreferenced to key topics, "PCI Express system architecture" contains more than 450 illustrations, helping make complex PCI Express concepts easier to grasp.
Structured in an easy-to-read format, yet comprehensive in its content, the book encompasses the knowledge needed for design, verification, and testing, as well as background information essential for writing low-level BIOS software and device drivers.
Unlike many technical training concerns that merely provide foils on topics, MindShare develops comprehensive textbooks that deliver "soup to nuts" content.
"PCI Express system architecture" serves as the course material for the in-depth PCI Express technical training seminar MindShare developed and teaches to both hardware and software designers.
"Specifications are not tutorial by nature; they may present the facts but often lead to as many questions as answers", said Tom Shanley, President of MindShare.

""PCI Express system architecture" anticipates those questions and answers them in a way that both presents the architecture's features and shows the reader how to design and build a wide range of PCI Express-based systems".
""PCI Express system architecture" will be a valuable resource to anyone in the design community developing systems architectures with PCI Express", said Jack Regula, Vice President and Chief Technical Officer at PLX Technology.
"As leaders in the I/O interconnect field, PLX recognises the importance of such comprehensive books, as they complement our mission to bring the most advanced I/O interconnect technology to communications, server, storage and embedded-control applications".
PLX Technology provided two chapters for "PCI Express system architecture".
"MindShare's newest book offering, "PCI Express system architecture", is a terrific resource with excellent content and their usual attention to high technological quality", said Nadar Saleh, President of Catalyst Enterprises, who contributed a chapter to the book.
"MindShare books are comprehensive and more useful than technical specifications.
We always recommend their books to our customers.
Even our own engineers use MindShare's books to develop a better understanding of technologies and specifications.
I recommend "PCI Express system architecture" as a necessary reference for anyone who uses PCI Express".
PCI Express is a highly flexible I/O architecture that uses serial, differential, low-voltage signalling to deliver the performance necessary for next generation platforms.
Scaling from 2.5Gbit/s for a single lane in each direction to a full duplex performance of 160Gbit/s, PCI Express provides the headroom needed for a wide variety of high-performance systems.
PCI Express also supports advanced features such as quality of service (QoS) and end-to-end data integrity, important for servers, storage and communications systems.
The architecture is targeted at multiple market segments, such as desktop, mobile, server, communications and embedded applications, and maintains compatibility with the existing PCI programming model.
