PDF Version
AMD introduces the AMD-8131™ HyperTransport™ PCI-X
tunnel. This high-speed device provides two independent, high-performance
PCI-X bus bridges, integrated with a high-speed HyperTransport technology
tunnel. The tunnel function provides connection capability to other downstream
HyperTransport technology devices, allowing greater system flexibility.
As shown in Figure 1, the front-end HyperTransport interface (Side A) provides
a configurable 16-bit wide communication path to the host, offering up to
6.4GB/s of bandwidth. Similarly, the back-end HyperTransport interface (Side
B) provides a configurable 8-bit wide communication path to a downstream
device, offering up to 3.2GB/s of bandwidth. |
