Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to communication technology, in particular to a PCI fast channel device, a link energy management method and a system. Background technique
[0002] Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCI Express for short) provides a high-speed point-to-point serial communication link for PCI Express devices. PCI Express is used for multimedia, high-speed LAN and other data-intensive Applications that provide sufficient bandwidth also face energy management issues in the link.
[0003] The power consumption of the PCI fast lane link increases with the increase of the link bandwidth, and the link bandwidth is related to the transmission rate and bit width of the link. When the traffic flow in the link is small and high bandwidth is not required , the bandwidth of the link can be reduced by reducing the transmission rate or bit width of the link, thereby reducing the power consumption of the link. When the business traffic in the link incr...
