HSIB™ — A
New Interoperable, High-Bandwidth, Low-Latency Bus based
on Cabled PCI Express: This paper introduces the HSIB bus, a new higher-bandwidth, lower-latency instrument control bus. HSIB extends cabled PCI Express to solve high-performance test problems by defining how multiple PCs and/or instruments can transfer data. This paper covers HSIB technical and business benefits, challenges of standardizing cabled PCI Express, HSIB physical and software layers, early prototype benchmarking results, and future direction.
