PCI Express (PCIe) 3.0 Accelerator Features

Tags:
processors

Overview In recent years there has been a trend towards offloading compute intensive workloads to specialized devices referred to as "Accelerators". These accelerators are used to improve platform performance in key computation (financial services), visualization (advanced gaming and workstations), content processing (Crypto and XML acceleration), and intelligent I/O applications. Two notable changes have contributed to this trend. First, the accelerators have benefited from Moore's law which has given rise to extremely powerful engines which are increasingly multi-core/multi-thread/multi-card devices.
