  • ECESATUSB1 This Expresscard Power Esata Port Controller Card
    1 Port ExpressCard Power eSATA Controller Adapter Card StarTech ID: ECESATUSB1 This ExpressCard Power eSATA port controller card can be installed in an available ExpressCard 34/54 mm slot to provide a powered eSATA connection, and also alternatively provide either external SATA (data only) or USB 2.0 connectivity from one uniquely designed port if using with standard eSATA or USB devices. An ideal solution for using an eSATA SSD Flash drive on your laptop, the power eSATA card delivers both a high speed eSATA connection and power from the combined USB port. A versatile connectivity solution, the card features built-in port multiplier support, allowing multi-drive eSATA storage enclosures to be connected to the host computer using a single eSATA cable. Taking advantage of the transfer speed of eSATA connection and the 5V power output of the USB 2.0 port, the ExpressCard Power eSATA adapter is the perfect answer for connecting compatible mobile drive enclosures, similar to the built-in power eSATA port provided by the following laptop computers: Toshiba: Satellite E105, A350, Satellite Pro P300; Qosmio G50, X305, Portege A600, M750, R500, R600; and Tecra M10, R10, A10. Dell: Studio 15, 17; Latitude E6400, E6500; Precision M2400, M4400, M6400, M6400 Covet. Applications Connects to eSATA SSD Flash drives, such as OCZ Throttle, Kangaru e-Flash drives and Ridata Racer series flash drives Provides connectivity between Notebooks and PCs with ExpressCard slots to external drive enclosures with Power eSATA (eSATA+USB) port, or with regular eSATA

  • Computer Bus Characteristics
    Upendra Sharma (upsharma.in) Computer Bus A bus, in computing, is a set of physical connections (cables, printed circuits, etc.) which can be shared by multiple hardware components in order to communicate with one another. The purpose of buses is to reduce the number of "pathways" needed for communication between the components, by carrying out all communications over a single data channel. This is why the metaphor of a "data highway" is sometimes used. If only two hardware components communicate over the line, it is called a hardware port (such as a serial port or parallel port). Characteristics A bus is characterised by the amount of information that can be transmitted at once. This amount, expressed in bits, corresponds to the number of physical lines over which data is sent simultaneously. A 32-wire ribbon cable can transmit 32 bits in parallel. The term "width" is used to refer to the number of bits that a bus can transmit at once. Additionally, the bus speed is also defined by its frequency (expressed in Hertz), the number of data packets sent or received per second. Each time that data is sent or received is called a cycle. This way, it is possible to find the maximum transfer speed of the bus, the amount of data which it can transport per unit of time, by multiplying its width by its frequency. A bus with a width of 16 bits and a frequency of 133 MHz, therefore, has a transfer speed equal to: Upendra Sharma (upsharma.in) Types of Buses In reality, each bus is generally constituted of 50 to 100 distinct physical lines, divided into three subassemblies: The address bus (sometimes called the memory bus) transports memory addresses which the processor wants to access in order to read or write data.

  • Input/Output
    Lectures 24: Input/Output I. External devices A. External devices are not connected directly to the system bus because they have a wide range of control logics, as well as data transfer speeds and formats. B. Virtually all external devices have buffers, control signals, status signals, and data bits. C. Those that deal with other forms of energy have transducers that converts from non-electrical data to electrical data, (e.g. key press to ASCII in a keyboard), or electrical data to non-electrical data (e.g. bytes to light in a monitor). D. In the past, intra-system (less than 1 meter) connections were usually parallel, and inter-system were serial. Now almost all are serial. 1. To convert from parallel to serial use a shift register. 2. USB (universal serial bus) is a common standard for serial transmission with USB 3.0 transferring at 5Gb/s. II. I/O Modules (south bridge and north bridge on a PC) on the motherboard provide the logic, buffers, error detection, and ports to communicate with the external devices on one side, and a system-type bus on the other. For external device interfaces, the modules have data, status, and control lines. For the system bus they have data, address, and control lines. The south bridge handles slower I/O devices and is connected to the north bridge rather than the system bus directly. III. Programmed I/O A. Overview of Programmed I/O waits for the processor to query it. B. Four types of I/O commands: 1) control (e.g.

  • Scalable Cache Coherent Shared Memory at Cluster Prices
    numascale Scalable Cache Coherent Shared Memory at Cluster Prices White Paper Redefining Scalable OpenMP and MPI Price-to-Performance with Numascale’s NumaConnect By: Douglas Eadline About the Author: Douglas Eadline, Ph.D. has been writing and working with high performance computers and Linux for over twenty years. He is also the Editor of Cluster- Monkey.net. NW4V1 ABSTRACT Using commodity hardware and the “plug-and-play” NumaConnect interconnect, Numascale delivers true shared memory programming and simpler administration at standard HPC cluster price points. One such system currently offers users over 1,700 cores with a 4.6 TB single memory image. The NumaConnect cluster excels at both OpenMP and MPI computing within the same shared memory environment. No extra software or program modifications are needed to take advantage of the entire system. Results for the NASA Advanced Supercomputing (NAS) Parallel Benchmarks have set a new record for OpenMP core count and problem size. OpenMP results show good scalability, with best results coming from larger problem sizes. In addition, NumaConnect shared memory MPI performance delivers better results than InfiniBand clus- ters, using standard tools without modification for the underlying hardware environment. A cost compari- son with a small FDR InfiniBand cluster shows a comparable price point when ease of programming, high performance, and ease of administration are considered. Several production systems are performing satisfactorily, including those in University of Oslo in Norway, Statoil,
