SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) is the serial storage interface that has been designed to replace and upgrade SCSI, by far the most popular storage interface for high-performance systems for many years. Retaining backward compatibility with the millions of lines of code written to support SCSI devices, SAS incorporates recent advances in high-speed serial design to provide better performance, better reliability and enhanced capabilities, all at a lower cost. SAS will be a significant part of many future high-performance storage systems, and hardware designers, system validation engineers, device driver developers and others working in this area will need a working knowledge of it. SAS Storage Architecture provides a comprehensive guide to the SAS standard. The book contains descriptions and numerous examples of the concepts presented, using the same building block approach as other MindShare offerings. This book details important concepts relating to the design and implementation of storage networks. Specific topics of interest include: SATA Compatibility Expander devices Discovery Process Connection protocols Arbitration of competing connection requests Flow Control protocols ACK/NAK protocol Primitives construction and uses Frames format, definition, used of each field Error checking mechanisms Description of responsibilities for each layer: Application layer mode and log pages Transport Layer frame construction Port Layer call center model Link Layer establish and maintain connections Phy Layer OOB, Initialization, and Reset Physical Layer connectors and cables Serial Support serial transmission support requirements The future of SAS competition with SATA and Fibre Channel in the server marketplace

The SATA (Serial ATA) interface is intended to expand and eventually replace the parallel ATA interface that has been the standard connection for hard drives and CD-ROM/DVD drives in Personal Computers for nearly twenty years. SATA, a high-speed serial version of ATA, is designed to maintain compatibility with software written for the standard ATA implementation, thus easing the transition to SATA. New advances in SATA provide new capabilities such as Native Command Queuing that improve overall drive performance and greater reliability. In addition, the latest version of SATA (called SATA II) adds new features such as higher transfer rates, Port Selectors, Port Multipliers, and enclosure services, making it easier to implement low cost, high capacity, storage subsystems for server implementations. This book provides essential information for Systems Engineers, System Validation Engineers, Hardware Designers, and Software Developers. o Serial ATA Storage Technology provides ATA background information necessary to understand the Serial ATA implementation. This book provides detailed information regarding the serial protocol, commands, and electrical interface. A tutorial approach is taken to facilitate thorough understanding, using numerous illustrations, tables and examples. The text is also designed to provide easy to access valuable reference information

HyperTransportTM technology has revolutionized microprocessor core interconnect. It serves as the central interconnect technology for nearly all of AMD s microprocessors as well as for a rich ecosystem of other microprocessors, system controllers, graphics processors, network processors, and communications semiconductors. It is a high-speed, low latency, point-to-point, packetized link. The latest version, HyperTransport 3.1, enables data transfer at rates of up to 51.2 GigaBytes per second. It is scalable, error tolerant, and designed for ease of use. It is also compatible with PCIe, PCI-X, PCI, and AGP buses and includes comprehensive power management and x86 platform support. The HTX and HTX3 specifications define a PC architecture I/O slot that provides the lowest latency slot access to a microprocessor available. HyperTransport 3.1 Interconnect provides a comprehensive guide to all of the releases of HyperTransport technology, from 1.03, through 2.0, to 3.1. This book includes over 250 drawings and over 100 tables.

The Instruction Set Architecture, or ISA, is defined as that part of the processor architecture related to programming, including the native data types, instructions, registers, addressing modes, memory architecture, interrupt and exception handling, and external IO. With the exception of some small deviations and differences in terminology, all Intel and AMD x86 processors share a common ISA. This book focuses on those shared attributes (it does not cover those areas where the two companies have chosen widely divergent solutions which, by definition, fall outside of the ISA specification). If you re looking for a comprehensive book designed to bootstrap you up quickly on virtually all aspects of the x86 32/64-bit Instruction Set Architecture (ISA), we respectfully ask you to consider this book. Essential topics covered include:  Basic Terms and Concepts Operating Mode/SubMode Introduction A (very) Brief History State After Reset Intro to the IA-32 Ecosystem Instruction Set Expansion 32-bit Machine Language Instruction Format Real Mode (8086 Emulation) Legacy x87 FP Support Introduction to Multitasking Multitasking-Related Issues Summary of the Protection Mechanisms Protected Mode Memory Addressing Code, Calls and Privilege Checks Data and Stack Segments IA-32 Address Translation Mechanisms Memory Type Configuration Task Switching Protected Mode Interrupts and Exceptions Virtual 8086 Mode The MMX Facilities The SSE Facilities IA-32e OS Environment IA-32e Address Translation Compatibility Mode 64-bit Register Overview 64-bit Operands and Addressing 64-bit Machine Language Instruction Format 64-bit Odds and Ends Transitioning to Protected Mode Transitioning to IA-32e Mode Introduction to Virtualization Technology System Management Mode (SMM) Machine Check Architecture (MCA) The Local and IO APICs

The third generation of USB increases transfer rates to 5.0 Gbits/s (SuperSpeed) and includes backward compatibility with all earlier USB specifications (1.1/2.0) and speeds (Low Speed, Full Speed, and High Speed) USB 3.0 SuperSpeed protocol also brings significant enhancements in the areas of device and system power conservation, error handling, and data flow control. SuperSpeed bus instances replace the USB broadcast bus model with directed (unicast) packets. Dual-simplex signaling enables asynchronous device notifications and simplifies link partner communication used in link flow control, packet acknowledgement and retry, and power management transitions. MindShare's books take the hard work out of deciphering the specs, and this one follows that tradition. MindShare's USB 3.0 Technology book provides a thorough description of the interface with numerous practical examples that illustrate the concepts. Written in a tutorial style, this book is ideal for anyone working with USB technologies.

An invaluable tool and reference on ISA architecture and time reading it is time well spent. You might just end up wondering how you ever got along without it! -David Greenberg, Dell Computer Corporation ISA System Architecture describes the hardware architecture of ISA (Industry Standard Architecture), providing a clear, concise explanation of an ISA system in detail. The authors provide a comprehensive treatment of the bus including: bus cycles addressing I/O RAM, ROM, and cache memory cache architectures decode and reset logic interrupts system kernel bus mastering DMA RTC and configuration RAM If you design or test hardware or software that involves ISA, ISA System Architecture is an essential, time-saving tool. The PC System Architecture Series is a crisply written and comprehensive set of guides to the most important PC hardware standards. Each title explains from a programmers perspective the architecture, features, and operations of systems built using one particular type of chip or hardware specification.
