H.264/AVC video compression standard has been adopted for DMB, digital TV and various next generation broadcasting, communication and consumer electronics applications, and modern DVR system is also based on H.264/AVC standard. Although PC-based DVRs use PCI bus for main interface typically, H.264/AVC codec for SOCs use AHB bus for host interface. In this paper, we present an implementation of PCI to AHB interface module for H.264/AVC codec to efficiently communicate with a PC and experimental results.

In order to test the board with IEEE 1149.1 boundary scan design, the test sequence must be applied as the bit stream However it is very tedious job to generate the test bit sequence since it requires the complete hlowledge about the 1149.1. This fuper introduces a convenient PCI/USB interface controller, named as Test-Ready PCI (TRPCI) ard Test-Ready USB (TRUSB). Test Bus Controller has been developed by TI and Lucent aiming to generate the test bit stream as an instruction level, thus even the novice test engineer can easily generate the test sequence.

NTB는 transparent bridge와 공통적으로 독립적인 PCI bus(PCI 또는 PCI Express bus)에 대해서 데이터 전송 경로(path)를 제공한다는 점에서 기능적으로 유사하다. 그러나, NTB와 transparent bridge 간의 가장 큰 차이점은 NTB가 사용될 경우에 bridge의 하향부분(downstream side)에 위치한 장치들은 상향부분(upstream side)에서는 보이지 않는다는 점이다. 이는 bridge의 하향부분(downstream side)에 위치한 인텔리전트(intelligent)한 제어기(예를들면 CPU를 포함하는 컴퓨터)가 자신의 downstream side에 위치하는 서브시스템 내 각종 장치들을 독립적으로 관리할 수 있다는 점이다. NTB는 또한 첫 번째 호스트(primary host)의 PCI bus로 구성된 서브시스템(subsystem) 계층구조(hierarchy)에 두 번째 호스트(secondary host)를 연결하는 데 사용될 수 있다. 이는 두 시스템간 통신을 가능하도록 하는 반면, 두 시스템을 서로 격리시키는 효과도 발생한다. 즉, NTB는 일반적으로 도어벨(doorbell)을 통해서 bridge의 다른 편에 위치한 장치에 대해서 인터럽트를 보낼 수 있으며, 또한, scratchpad 레지스터를 보유하고 있어 bridge의 양측에서 데이터를 상호 공유함으로써 interprocessor communication 할 수 있다.

PCI Express (PCIe) bus, which was only used as an internal I/O bus of a computer system, has expanded its function to outside of a system, with progress of PCIe switching processor. In particular, advanced features of PCIe switching processor enable PCIe bus to serve as an interconnection network as well as connecting external devices. As PCIe switching processors more advanced, it is required to consider the different adapter card architecture. This study developed multipurpose adapter cards by applying an on-board optical module, a latest optical communications element, in order to improve transfer distance and utilization. The performance evaluation confirmed that the new adapter cards with long cable can provide the same bandwidth as that of the existing adapter cards with short copper cable.

Today's and tomorrow's processors and I/O devices are demanding much higher I/O bandwidth than PCI 2.3 or PCI-X can deliver and it is time to engineer a new generation of PCI to serve as a standard I/O bus for future generation platforms. According to this demand the PCI SIG proposed PCI Express. This paper describes about the design of PCI Express Behavioral Model. A Behavioral Model enables the designers to test whether the design specifications are met by performing computer simulations rather than experiments on the physical prototype. In the proposed Model, we can verify whether our design concept satisfies the PCI Express functional protocol.

Today's System-on-a-Chip (SoC) is designed with reusable IP cores to meet short time-to-market requirements. However, the increasing cost of testing becomes a big burden in manufacturing a highly integrated SoC. In this paper, we propose an efficient test access mechanism that exploits an on/off-chip bus bridge for the Advanced High-performance Bus (AHB) and Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus. The test application time is considerably reduced by providing dedicated test stimuli input paths and response output paths, and by excluding the bus direction tumaround delays. Experimental results show that area overhead and testing times are considerably reduced in both functional and structural test modes. The proposed technique can be a lied to the other types of on/off-chip bus bridges.

The PCI Express is a widely used system bus technology that connects the processor and the peripheral I/O devices. The PCI Express is nowadays regarded as a de facto standard in system area interconnection network. It has good characteristics in terms of high-speed, low power. In addition, PCI Express is becoming popular interconnection network technology as like Gigabit Ethernet, InfiniBand, and Myrinet which are extensively used in high-performance computing. In this paper, we designed and implemented a evaluation platform for interconnect network using PCI Express between two computing nodes. We make use of the non-transparent bridge (NTB) technology of PCI Express in order to isolate between the two subsystems. We constructed a testbed system and evaluated the performance on the testbed.

It is extremely important to minimize network access time in constructing a high-performance PC cluster system. For PC cluster systems, it is possible to reduce network access time by maintaining network cache in each cluster node. This paper presents a Network Cache Coherent NUMA (NCC-NUMA) system to utilize network cache by locating shared memory on the PCI bus, and the NCC-NUMA card which is core module of the NCC-NUMA system is developed. The NCC-NUMA card is directly plugged into the PCI slot of each node, and contains shared memory, network cache, shared memory control module and network control module. The network cache is maintained for the shared memory on the PCI bus of cluster nodes. The coherency mechanism between the network cache and the shared memory is based on the IEEE SCI standard. According to the SPLASH-2 benchmark experiments, the NCC-NUMA system showed improvements of 56% compared with an SCI-based cluster without network cache.

PCI Express is a well-known and widely used de-facto system bus standard for connecting among a processor and IO devices. PCI Express is originated from old PCI standard, and its most of applications are limited to be used within a PC or server system. But, because of its fast speed, low power consumption, and good protocol efficiency, it is considered as one of a good candidate for an alternate system interconnect for many years. In this paper, we present design, implementation and early evaluation of an alternate system interconnect by utilizing PCI Express. The developed alternate system interconnect using PCI Express (named PCIeLINK) utilizes non-transparent bridging (NTB) technic which generally used in fail-over system in PCI and PCI Express. By using NTB technic, PCI Express device can be extended to outside of a system without electrical and logical problems arising during system boot and enumeration. To build up an alternate system interconnect, we designed and implemented a network interface card having multiple PCI Express ${\times}4$ connections (theoretically 20 Gbps) and tested, The early test results revealed that an ${\times}4$ port in the card showed 8.6 Gbps peak performance for bulk transmission and 5.1 Gbps peak for normal TCP/IP transfer.
