“Bandwidth evolution for the
PCIe architecture will be driven
primarily by graphics, Ethernet,
Infinband, storage and PCIe switch
applications.”
At the same time, Yanes sees continued opportunities for
previous generations of the PCIe standard. “PCI Express
provides backward compatibility, so older products, or those
not requiring I/O bandwidth improvements, may choose to
implement PCI Express 1.0 or 2.0 architecture.”
Al Yanes has served as president of the PCI-SIG
since 2003 and chairman since 2006 and is a
Distinguished Engineer for IBM in the Systems &
Technology Division. He has 26 years of experience
working with ASIC design in the I/O industry. Yanes
holds 25 patents for PC I and other I/O technolo-
gies. Yanes is a PCIe technology expert for the IBM Rochester office
and he is involved in IO design for IBM's Server products. Yanes
holds a B.S. in computer engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic
Institute.
Nathan Brookwood has participated in the infor-
mation technology industry since the days of the
first transistorized computers. In 1998 he estab-
lished Insight 64, where he serves as the research
fellow, concentrating on CPUs and GPUs used in
general purpose computing applications.
