PCI Express High Performance Reference Design

PCI Express High Performance Reference Design

This document highlights the performance of the Altera’s PCI Express® products. The design includes a high-performance chaining direct memory access (DMA) that transfers data between the a PCIe Endpoint in the FPGA, internal memory and the system memory. The reference design includes a Windows-based software application that sets up the DMA transfers. The software application also measures and displays the performance achieved for the transfers.
