Synopsis:

Welcome to the era of the Intel QuickPath Interconnect!nWeaving High Performance Multiprocessor Fabric is written for hardware design, validation and BIOS engineers to introduce the compelling mix of performance and features in the Intel QuickPath Interconnect. nnFrom the foreword, Robert P. Colwell opines: "Even for inveterate geeks like me, most technical books are dry as dust and work much better than insomnia pills. They should come with warning stickers: Do not operate heavy machinery for a week after reading this book. Not this book though: Weaving High Performance Multiprocessor Fabric is engaging, educational, well-organized and directly useful. It doesn't get any better than that." It explains the Intel QuickPath Interconnect, which provides the foundation for future generations of Intel microprocessor systems with a high-speed, packetized, point-to-point system interconnect that uses multiple narrow high-speed links to stitch together processors and IO hubs into a fabric of a distributed shared memory-style platform architecture. nn"With one day of reading this book, everyone familiar with the existing Front Side Bus architecture will have good visibility into what is new in the Intel QuickPath Interconnect." - Simon Czermak - Fujitsu Siemens Computers Ltdn
