HyperTransport System Architecture provides a comprehensive, technical guide to HyperTransport technology. It opens with an overview of HT systems, highlighting the technology's fundamental principles, basic architecture, and its many advantages. The book goes on to detail all facets of HyperTransport systems, including the protocol, I/O, routing, configuration, and more. It also features important performance considerations and addresses critical compatibility issues.Essential topics covered include:Signal groups Packet protocol, covering control and data packets HT flow control, and how it differs from PCI flow control I/O ordering rules, including upstream, downstream, and host ordering requirements Interrupts, error detection, and error handling HT system management Routing packets, covering point-to-point topology and HT's fairness algorithm Device configuration The electrical environment, including power requirements and signaling characteristics HyperTransport bridges Double-hosted chains Anticipated networking extensions PCI, PCI-X, AGP, and X86 compatibility issues
