Rethinking AI Infrastructure: The Rise of PCIe Switches

Far from just a functional piece of hardware, PCIe switches are the invisible foundation that accelerates data processing, eliminates bottlenecks, and ensures modern AI systems operate with blazing speed and pinpoint precision.

UALink Under the Hood: Why Full-Stack Verification Wins

Verifying UALink means following a transaction the way the silicon does: down through four layers, out across one, two, or four SerDes lanes at the configured 100G or 200G serial rate, and back again, with its meaning and its bytes both intact. This blog takes that journey one layer at a time, and along the way examines a detail of the data link flit that is easy to overlook and important to get right.

A Look at New Open Standards to Improve Reliability and Redundancy of Automotive Ethernet

To meet the safety and deterministic latency requirements for controlling a car, a new set of open standards is being developed, collectively referred to as “Time Sensitive Networking,” or TSN. These improve the reliability, timing, redundancy, and failure detection ability of Ethernet to the level where it can be applied throughout an automobile. This article describes how Cadence has addressed the hardware requirements of TSN in its Automotive Ethernet Media Access Controller (MAC).
