RECONFIGURABLE PERIPHERAL COMPONENT INTERCONNECT EXPRESS (PCIe) DATA PATH TRANSPORT TO REMOTE COMPUTING ASSETS

Abstract: described are methods for configuring computing system for and computing systems for pcie communication between remote computing assets. the system uses a fabric interface device configured to receive multi-lane serial pcie data from functional elements of a computing asset through a multi-lane pcie bus, and to transparently extend the multi-lane pcie bus by converting the multi-lane pcie data into a retimed parallel version of the pcie multi-lane data to be sent on bidirectional data communication paths. the fabric interface device is also configured so that the multi-lane pcie bus can have a first number of lanes and the bidirectional data communication paths can have a different second number of lanes.
