PCI-X System Architecture is a detailed and comprehensive guide to the PCI-X technology. It highlights the many changes and improvements from PCI 2.2 to PCI-X, so that you can build on your PCI knowledge to master PCI-X with greater ease. The book discusses the drawbacks of PCI and how PCI-X solves these problems to achieve faster transfer rates. In addition, it presents in-depth information and practical guidance on the PCI-X transaction protocol, device configuration for PCI-X, load tuning, PCI-X bridges, error detection and handling, and electrical issues.

MindShare's PC System Architecture Series is a crisply written and comprehensive set of programmers' guides to the most important PC hardware standards. Each title explains from a programmer's perspective the architecture, features, and operations of systems built using one particular type of chip or hardware specification.

Specific information on key topics includes:

Device types and bus initialization, including Hot-Plug PCI-X initialization

Dword and burst commands

Bus arbitration, latency rules, and burst transactions

Transaction termination

Split completion messages

64-bit transactions

Bridge and non-bridge configuration registers

Load tuning, including adjustable fields and registers, split completion buffers, and adjusting timeslice values

PCI-X to PCI-X bridges

Handling master abort, attribute phase parity errors, and split read errors

Prerequisites
PCI System Architecture class or book

Anyone who designs or tests hardware or software that involves the PCI-X bus will find PCI-X System Architecture an essential resource for understanding and working with this important technology.
