Kyle McRobert | Hardware Engineering Manager
Quarch Technology Ltd
After graduating from Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh with a BEng(Hons) in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. I joined the Royal Air Force which took me across the world for two years to places like Bahrain, the Falklands and Germany (to name a few). Keen to put down roots, I joined Quarch in 2018 as a Hardware Engineer. I enjoy working closely with our customers to help create custom setups. My goal is to help them get the most out of our products the came from my first days at Quarch and curries on to today, I enjoy finding new ways to use our products, recreating customers set ups building on these to improve them in anyway I can. I now manage the hardware engineering team at Quarch with a key challenge being the move to Gen6.

PCIe L0p Explained: Basics and Practical Power Analysis
This presentation introduces the PCIe L0p power state at a clear, high level, explaining what it is, how it works within the PCIe link, and why it matters for power efficiency. The goal is to give attendees a practical understanding without requiring deep protocol knowledge.
The session then focuses on how to measure real power into an SSD or PCIe device, including key measurement considerations and workload selection. A short case study will show measured power savings across different workloads, demonstrating how L0p can translate into meaningful efficiency gains in real systems.
