Enabling Seamless Plug-and-Play Interoperability
Reduce design challenges and accelerate time-to-market for AI servers
- Rigorous testing of Aries Retimers with all major root complexes and 50+ endpoints
- PCIe robustness validated with varying channel insertion loss budgets in chip-to-chip, box-to-box, and rack-to-rack topologies
- Extensive testing with
software suite for advanced Link, Fleet, and RAS telemetry and diagnostics - Cloud-Scale Interop Lab expands to Taiwan to facilitate closer collaboration with ODMs and accelerate AI platform deployments
Why We Test
Extensive testing is required to ensure robust interoperability between the wide variety of PCIe 6.x components within an AI system deployed at cloud-scale.
How We Test
We test Aries Smart DSP Retimers with a broad variety of hosts and end points interconnected over varying channel insertion loss budgets in real systems over thousands of iterations.
