Alphawave Semi Partners with Keysight for PCIe 6.0 Subsystem Solution

Alphawave Semi has formed a partnership with Keysight Technologies to demonstrate interoperability between their PCIe 6.0 64 GT/s subsystem and Keysight's Protocol Exerciser. This collaboration is expected to accelerate compliance testing for the next-generation PCIe 6.0 standard, crucial for high-speed data applications.

Additionally, the companies successfully established a link for CXL 2.0, enhancing cache coherence in data centers. The transition to PCIe 6.0 introduces PAM4 signaling, improving data rates while presenting new challenges in signal integrity and backward compatibility. The collaboration also focuses on enhancing AI processing capabilities in high-performance computing environments.
