PCIE PROTOCOL ANALYSIS FOR SSDS - (PPT)

摘要

Implementing SSDs on the PCIe interface offers large performance gains. To maximize throughput, you need to carefully tune the operation of the PCIe protocols. This presentation will discuss the operation of power saving, link state management and Flow Control credits that will impact design decisions. PCI express Solid State Drives (PCIe SSDs) provide significant performance benefits in enterprise storage applications compared to traditional hard disc drives (HDDs) and SSDs. The emergence of non-volatile memory express (NVMe), a scalable host controller protocol developed for PCIe SSDs, provides an efficient and streamlined command set, which even further enhances storage throughput. Learn about implementation and validation methods including an overview of protocols, operation of PCIe link states and transaction levels, and how tuning the operation of the PCIe protocols improves the storage performance.
