Cray adopted Denali's Databahn PCIe 3.0 controller core and PureSpec verification IP

Cray has adopted Denali Databahn PCIe controller core and PureSpec verification IP (VIP), which support the latest PCIe 3.0 specifications from the PCI-SIG. The 16-lane PCIe 3.0 controller from Denali can deliver 128 GT/s of raw bandwidth, surpassing a 100G Ethernet interface. This is equivalent to transferring a full 3-hour high-definition movie file in under one second.

Denali's Databahn PCIe cores and PureSpec verification IP software for PCI Express provide full support of the latest capabilities such as Internal error reporting, ID based ordering, TLP processing hints, Optimized buffer flush/fill, Atomic operations, Re-Sizable BAR, Extended TAG enable, Dynamic power allocation, and Latency tolerance reporting

"Our systems are deployed in mission critical applications and require superior performance, scalability, and reliability. After examining the available solutions in the industry, it was clear that Denali was more than capable of delivering a PCI Express 3.0 controller with the critical features that we needed," states Peg Williams, senior vice president of research and development at Cray. "Not only has Denali met our functional and performance requirements, but their reputable technology, verification expertise and strong customer reputation made them a valued supplier."

"Denali continues to provide the industry's highest-quality IP solutions for PCIe technology, which enables our customers, such as Cray, to reduce their design risk and enable them to develop complex projects on schedule," remarks Ashwin Matta, Director of PCIe Core Technology for Denali Software. "We value Cray's trust in Denali and are confident that our design and verification IP products will accelerate their design time, meet their performance goals and help them achieve a competitive advantage."
