Serial Bus Test: FB-DIMM, RapidIO, Quick Path, HyperTransport,
DisplayPort
 Description
The need to relieve throughput bottlenecks
in computing and communications, together with the development
of low cost, high speed CMOS technology, has caused
the move to high speed (›1.5 Gb/s) serial
buses. Fully Buffered DIMM is an evolving standard for
fast access to large amounts of RAM for servers. RapidIO
is an open-standard, switched fabric designed for developers
of wireless infrastructure, edge networking, storage,
scientific, military, and industrial equipment. Quick
Path and HyperTransport are competing to be the next
generation front side bus for processor interconnect
applications. All of these have serial data
rates that are firmly in the microwave arena, requiring
significant attention to signal integrity.
