According to a press release, the proposal codenamed “Geneseo” defines improvements facilitating faster connectivity between the processor and application accelerators. Geneseo aims to enhance the range of design options for hardware developers.

Visualization, such as complex weather modeling, math and physics, such as data intensive financial applications, and content processing, such as the encryption and decryption of communications infrastructure data will surely get benefit from the proposal.

Tom Bradicich, IBM fellow and chief technology officer, System x and BladeCenter Servers, says the new architecture “defines a standards-based approach for improving general purpose server accessibility within new and emerging application areas, such as encryption, visualization, XML and complex mathematical modeling.”

“Geneseo is the next step in this vision and will address new requirements and opportunities that come with next-generation platforms,” said Pat Gelsinger, senior vice president, general manager, Intel’s Digital Enterprise Group.

IBM and Intel offer the proposal in collaboration with other companies such as Emulex Corporation, HP, Integrated Device Technology Inc., Lecroy Corporation, Linux Networx, LSI Logic, Mellanox Technologies, Adaptec (News - Alert) Inc., AGEIA Technologies Inc., Altera Corporation, Broadcom (News - Alert) Corporation, Celoxica, Sun Microsystems, Synopsys, Tektronix, Xambala Inc., Xilinx Inc., Xtreme Data, Dell (News - Alert), EMC (News - Alert) Corporation, , Myricom, NetEffect, Novell, NVIDIA, PLX Technology, PMC-Sierra, Qlogic etc.

PCI Express technology was first conceptualized in 2004. The technology helps transition of computing platform I/O from the parallel bus model.
