PCI Express® Technology: Evolving to Meet the Demands of AI
As AI datasets continue to scale exponentially, PCI Express® (PCIe®) technology serves as the high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity backbone of advanced AI platforms. The requirements of AI clusters are shaping PCIe technology evolution as the primary interconnect for memory access between processing elements, such as CPUs, GPUs, or accelerators. PCIe technology offers developers the low-latency, scalability and backwards compatibility needed to support today’s compute-intensive AI applications.This session will detail the features of the PCIe 8.0 specification, planned for release in 2028 and targeting 256.0 GT/s raw bit rate (up to 1 TB/s bi-directionally via a x16 configuration), and how PCI-SIG’s continued doubling of the data rate allows AI chipset vendors and AI accelerator developers to maintain a clear path for growth today and into the future. Attendees will also learn about the industry’s first standards-based PCIe optical solutions, and how they enable extended reach across racks and pods in AI, cloud and data center applications.This session will update attendees on how the PCIe 8.0 specification will benefit diverse applications and support data-intensive markets.
