PCIExpress端点应用的FPGA实现 Introduction PCIExpress(PCIe)isastandardized,high-speedserialinterconnectprotocolthatconnectsdevices,suchasgraphicscards,storagedevices,andnetworkadapters,toacomputer'smotherboard.Withitshighbandwidthandlowlatency,PCIehasbecomethedefactostandardforhigh-performanceI/Oinmoderncomputersystems.ThispaperexplorestheimplementationofaPCIeendpointapplicationusingfield-programmablegatearrays(FPGAs).
