In a few short years, CXL (Compute Express Link) has evolved from an idea to a rapidly proliferating low latency interconnect standard being adopted into data centers, high performance computing, and cloud computing. However, as the adoption has increased, so has the security threat model users face. To address this, the CXL 2.0 standard has included an optional IDE (Integrity and Data Encryption). While IDE is optional today, given ever-increasing security threats, it won’t be forever so understanding IDE will become essential.
 
In this webinar, Rambus and Siemens will discuss the background of IDE, the threat models it addresses, and how zero latency IDE’s can provide assurances to CXL adopters. Design and verification engineers and managers won’t want to miss this webinar to understand how to incorporate and validate this essential standard in their designs.

As the need for data has exploded driven by applications like AI/ML and automotive, the semiconductor industry, led by PCI-SIG, is preparing for the final release of the PCIe 6.0 specification and all the changes it entails.

In this first of two joint webinars, PLDA and Siemens EDA join to introduce you to PCIe 6.0, including architecture differences from prior generations, performance improvements, and how PCIe 6.0 compares from both a designer and verification perspective.

What you will learn:

- what is PCIE 6.0
- how does it differ from past generations
- design considerations when planning with PCIe 6
- verification implications of a PCIe 6 design

Preparing for PCIe 6.0

Over the course of two decades, PCI Express® (PCIe®) has become the de-facto I/O interconnect in electronic systems, by providing the level of performance and reliability expected by cloud, enterprise, consumer, industrial, and automotive applications.
However the explosion of data in recent years has accelerated the need for higher performance interconnects, prompting PCI SIG® to quickly transition to PCIe 6.0 with the imminent release of the PCIe 6.0 specification.
In this webinar, we present the main characteristics of the PCIe 6.0 protocol in contrast to earlier revisions, and explain the rationale behind the main architecture changes. We then take a look at PCIe 6.0 from the perspective of silicon IP enablement, by introducing the main design features required to take full advantage of the new level of performance offered by PCIe 6.0.

Get ready for PCIe® 6.0, the next generation of I/O interconnect
