I0 New digital buses

This 1-day seminar aims to describe and compare new digital interconnect standards

Objectives
bullet_jaune_1 Packet switching benefits compared to shared busses are highlighted.
bullet_jaune_1 The course details the operation of new busses and the consequences on system architecture.
bullet_jaune_1 This workshop has been designed for project managers who intend to understand the operation of new buses without fully describing their protocol.
bullet_jaune_1 Many references to exerciser providers and component manufacturers are done in order to explain not only the features of new buses but also their ecosystem.
bullet_jaune_1 Ac6-training offers trainings covering in depth buses such as PCI-X, PCI-Express, RapidIO, IEEE1394a/b, USB2.0, HyperTransport, VME VXS.
A more detailed course description is available on request at info@ac6-training.com
