Introduction to UCIe Tutorial: UCIe Protocols

High-performance and power efficiency needs of emerging workloads demand on-package integration of heterogeneous processing units, memory, and electrical and optical interconnects. Applications such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, data analytics, 5G, automotive, and high-performance computing are driving these demands to meet the needs of cloud computing, intelligent edge, enterprise, client, and hand-held computing infrastructure. On-package interconnects are a critical component to deliver power-efficient performance with the right feature set in this evolving landscape. UCIe is an open industry standard with a fully specified stack that comprehends plug-and-play interoperability of chiplets on a package; similar to the seamless interoperability on board with well-established and successful off-package interconnect standards such PCI Express, Universal Serial Bus (USB), and Compute Express Link (CXL).
In this tutorial, UCIe experts and spec developers will:
• discuss the usages and key metrics of UCIe
• delve into electrical, packaging, protocol, RAS, and software aspects along with the compliance and interoperability mechanisms.

Which Streaming Protocol should we support when designing UCIe Protocol Layer? Because there are many vendor streaming protocol such as AXI Streaming or CXS ...

[@loyal8060]

It is generic it should support all the protocol.

[@amirsharfu]

Yess It support all of them whether it's vendor specific (like AMBA's protocol) or any of the user specific. Because above of the protocol layer one more hidden layer present called 'Translator' that extract the basic info from vendor specific protocol and then forwarded to Protocol layer.

[@loyal8060]

​​@@amirsharfuHi, can you provide more information regarding this hidden layer.
Because as far as I know I haven't encountered any such layer.
For streaming protocol ucie just picks up the data and forwards it.
