    The document summarizes the key features of 3GIO (Third Generation I/O), which aims to address drawbacks of older PCI versions. 3GIO doubles or quadruples PCI-X bandwidth through an architecture with a host bridge, switch, and I/O device endpoints. It provides full backward compatibility while enabling higher performance technologies. Compared to first generation PCI, 3GIO provides 32 times higher performance through improvements at the physical, data link, transaction, and software layers.

     Drawbacks of older versions of PCI

     Features of 3GIO

     3GIO Topology

     3GIO Architecture

     Comparison with older versions


    Drawbacks of older versions of PCI bus

    • Cannot be easily scaled up in freq and scaled


    down in voltage

    • Synchronously clocked data transfer is signal


    skew limited

    • Signal routing rules are at the limit for cost-


    effective FR4 technology
    FEATURES:

    •Doubles or quadruples PCI-X bandwidth

    •full hardware and software compatibility with previous


    generations of PCI

    •uses same form factor, pin-outs, connector, bus widths,


    protocols

    •enables 10GB Ethernet, 10GB fibre channel, infiniband


    architecture, and other I/O technologies

    •32 times higher performance than 1st generation PCI


    3GIO Topology

    •It consists of host bridge, a


    switch, and several I/O device
    endpoints

    •switch provides ppp or p2p


    communication

    •connections can be constructed


    with connectors or cables,
    allowing mobile docking and new
    methods of system partitioning
    3GIO Layered Architecture
    Physical Layer:

    •2 differentially driven pairs of signals

    •data clock embedded using 8/10b encoding scheme

    •initial freq : 2.5gbps per direction

    •Transmits packets

    •b/w of a link can be scaled

    •no OS s/w is involved in initialisation

    •future enhancements would only affect the physical


    layer
    Data Link Layer:

    •ensures reliable delivery of packets

    •responsible for data integrity

    •adds sequence no. & CRC to


    transaction layer packets

    •credit based flow control protocol


    Transaction Layer:

    • Receives request packets & creates response packets

    • Supports 4 address spaces:


    3 PCI address spaces : memory, I/O, configuration
    adds message space

    • uses MSI method for interrupt

    Software Layer:

    • 2 facets of s/w compatibility: initialization, runtime

    • Initialization model: OS discovers add-in h/w and creates n


    optimal system environment

    • run-time s/w model: load-store model
