PCI Express (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) abbreviated as PCIe or PCI-E, is designed to replace the older PCI, PCI-X, AGP standards. We present a data communication developed system for use the transfer data between the host and the peripheral devices via PCIe. The performance and the available area on the board are effective by using the PCIe. PCIe is a serial expansion bus interconnection method which is use for high speed communication. PCI Express represents the currently fastest and most expensive solution to connect the peripheral devices with general purpose CPU. It provides a highest bandwidth connection in the PC platform. In this paper, we highlight the different types of bus architecture. Here the PCIe architecture is described how data transfer between the CPU to the destination.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

2. Bus
A collection of wires and electronic
components through which data is
transmitted from one part of a computer to
another, even from one computer to another
computer. When used in reference to
personal computers, the term bus usually
refers to internal bus.
All buses consist of three parts -- an address
bus, control bus and a data bus.
7. Internal Bus/ Internal Data Bus
Internal Bus/ Internal Data Bus: A bus that operates only
within the internal circuitry of the CPU, communicating among
the internal caches of memory that are part of the CPU chip’s
design.
Microprocessors communicate with its internal and external
components through the bus, are mainly divided into two
categories:
1. Front-side Bus: Another name for the system bus. The bus
that connects the CPU to main memory on the motherboard.
The system bus is also called the memory bus, local bus, or
host bus.
2. Backside bus: A microprocessor bus that connects the CPU to
a Level 2 cache. Typically, a backside bus runs at a faster clock
speed than the frontside bus that connects the CPU to main
memory.
8. Expansion Bus
A collection of wires and protocols that allows the expansion of a
computer by inserting printed circuit boards (expansion boards).
AT Bus: The AT bus, which runs at 8 megahertz and has a 16-
bit data path. The AT bus is sometimes referred to as the ISA
bus.
ISA Bus: Short for Industry Standard Architecture bus. 16 bit
bus. ISA began to be replaced by the PCI local bus architecture.
MCA: IBM introduced the Micro Channel Architecture (MCA) in
1987. 32-bit bus.
EISA Bus: A more successful alternative to the MCA bus is the
Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA ), a high-speed
32-bit bus architecture developed by a group of IBM's
competitors.
9. Expansion Bus
VL-bus: Short for VESA Local-Bus, a local bus architecture
created by the Video Electronics Standards Association
(VESA ). Although it was quite popular in PCs made in 1993
and 1994, it has been overshadowed by a competing local
bus architecture called PCI.
PCI Bus: Short for Peripheral Component Interconnect, a
local bus standard developed by Intel Corporation. PCI is a
64-bit bus, though it is usually implemented as a 32-bit bus. It
can run at clock speeds of 33 or 66 MHz. At 32 bits and 33
MHz, it yields a throughput rate of 133 MBps.
PCI-X Bus: Short for PCI extended, an enhanced PCI bus.
PCI-X is backward-compatible with existing PCI cards. It
improves upon the speed of PCI from 133 MBps to as much
as 1 GBps.
10. Expansion Bus
PCI Express: An I/O interconnect bus standard that
doubles the data transfer rates of original PCI. PCI
Express was designed to replace the general-purpose
PCI expansion bus, the high-end PCI-X bus and the AGP
graphics card interface.
Data transfer rates of approximately 200MB/s.
PCI Express, also known as 3GIO (for third-generation
Input/Output) is compatible with existing PCI systems.
NuBus: The expansion bus for versions of the Macintosh
computers starting with the Macintosh II and ending with
the Performa. Current Macs use the PCI bus.
SMBus: The System Management Bus (SMBus) is a
two-wire interface through which simple power-related
chips can communicate with rest of the system. With the
SMBus, a device can provide manufacturer information,
tell the system what its model or part number is, save its
state for a suspend event, report different types of errors,
accept control parameters and return its status.
11. PCI Express
An I/O interconnect bus standard (which includes a protocol and a layered
architecture) that expands on and doubles the data transfer rates of original
PCI.
Each lane of a PCI Express connection contains two pairs of wires -- one to
send and one to receive. Packets of data move across the lane at a rate of one
bit per cycle. A x1 connection, the smallest PCIe connection, has one lane
made up of four wires. It carries one bit per cycle in each direction. A x2 link
contains eight wires and transmits two bits at once, a x4 link transmits four
bits, and so on. Other configurations are x12, x16 and x32.
The "x" in an "x16" connection stands for "by." PCIe connections are
scalable by one, by two, by four, and so on.
PCI Express is available for desktop and laptop PCs. Its use may lead to
lower cost of motherboard production, since its connections contain fewer
pins than PCI connections do. It also has the potential to support many
devices, including Ethernet cards, USB 2 and video cards.
PCI Express is a two-way, serial connection that carries data in packets
along two pairs of point-to-point data lanes, compared to the single parallel
data bus of traditional PCI that routes data at a set rate.
Initial bit rates for PCI Express reach 2.5Gb/s per lane direction, which equate
to data transfer rates of approximately 200MB/s.
PCI Express, also known as 3GIO (for third-generation Input/Output) is
compatible with existing PCI systems.
12. Expansion Bus
PCI Express:
Each lane of a PCI Express
connection contains two pairs of
wires -- one to send and one to
receive. Packets of data move
across the lane at a rate of one bit
per cycle. A x1 connection, the
smallest PCIe connection, has one
lane made up of four wires. It
carries one bit per cycle in each
direction. A x2 link contains eight
wires and transmits two bits at
once, a x4 link transmits four bits,
and so on. Other configurations
are x12, x16 and x32.
15. External Bus
Another name for external data bus. A bus that connects a
computer to peripheral devices. Two examples are the
Universal Serial Bus (USB) and IEEE 1394.
USB 1.1: Short for Universal Serial Bus, an external bus
standard that supports data transfer rates of 1.5 MBps. A single
USB port can be used to connect up to 127 peripheral devices.
USB 2.0: Also referred to as Hi-Speed USB, USB 2.0 is an
external bus that supports data rates up to 60MBps.
USB OTG: Short for USB On-The-Go, an extension of the USB
2.0 specification for connecting peripheral devices to each other.
USB OTG products can communicate with each other without the
need to be connected to a PC.
IEEE 1394: A very fast external bus standard that supports data
transfer rates of up to 50MBps (in 1394a) and 100MBps (in
1394b). Products supporting the 1394 standard go under
different names, depending on the company. Apple, which
originally developed the technology, uses the trademarked name
FireWire. Other companies use other names, such as i.link and
Lynx, to describe their 1394 products.
A single 1394 port can be used to connect up 63 external
devices.
16. Physical parts of Buses
Data Bus: The data bus carries digital information. A data bus is
usually a group of parallel wires connecting different parts of a
circuit. The data bus is connected to the inputs of several gates
and to the outputs of several gates. In general, information may
flow on the bus wires in both directions. This type of bus is
referred to as a bidirectional data bus.
Control Bus: The physical connections that carry control
information between the CPU and other devices within the
computer. Whereas the data bus carries actual data that is being
processed, the control bus carries signals that report the status
of various devices.
Address Bus: An address bus is a collection of wires
connecting the CPU with main memory that is used to identify
particular locations (addresses) in main memory. Address bus is
a part of a computer bus.
18. Introduction to Interface
A boundary across which two independent systems
meet and act on or communicate with each other. In
computer technology, there are several types of
interfaces.
User interface - the keyboard, mouse, menus of a
computer system. The user interface allows the user to
communicate with the operating system.
Software interface - the languages and codes that the
applications use to communicate with each other and with
the hardware.
Hardware interface - the wires, plugs and sockets that
hardware devices use to communicate with each other.
19. Hardware Interface
Hardware Interface
1. Special-purpose: The keyboard, sound card, mouse,
etc. connectors represent the special-purpose
interfaces. They cannot be used for any other device.
2. Multi-purpose: The parallel port (printer port), serial port,
universal serial bus (USB), and IEEE 1394 FireWire
represent multi-purpose interfaces since they can be
used for various peripheral devices, including data storage
devices.
3. General-purpose interfaces: The slots on the
motherboard, such as PCI and ISA slots, can be used to
connect various devices (via the plug-in cards) and
represent truly general-purpose interfaces
20. Some of the interface commonly
found with recent PCs
Parallel: The parallel port was originally
created for communicating with the
printer and thus is called a "printer port".
A PC may have at most 3 parallel
ports, which are named LPT1, LPT2, and
LPT3. A parallel port (printer port) female
connector has 25 pins. This 'standard'
parallel port interface can sustain data
rates up to 0.15 MB/s. There are four
more newly created modes, which
enhances parallel port performance.
1. Nibble-mode reverse operation
2. Byte-reverse operation
3. EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port) : 2MB/s
4. ECP (Extended Capability Port)
21. Some of the interface commonly
found with recent PCs
Serial Interface
If you send bits one at a time, you are
using serial communication. If you send
one extra bit for each 8 bits to make sure
your data got there intact, it is called a
parity bit.
Two common connector type are used for
serial communication: the 9-pin
connector DB9 and (less often) 25-pin
DB25 connector
Modern PCs can exchange data over the
serial port at rates up to 115 KB/s, but
this will translate into a maximum
data rate of about only 11.5 KB/s without
parity and 10.5 KB/s with parity
22. Some of the interface commonly
found with recent PCs
USB:
Set up is very easy. Good
performer. Hot swappable.
Requires Windows 98 and higher.
Windows 98 supports USB and
there was a limited support for USB
in Windows 95.
USB is still a serial-type interface
and sends bits one after another...
In theory, a USB interface can
support up to 127 individual USB
peripherals at one time.
For practical connection of multiple
devices to the host (root), special
hubs are required. Hubs can have
up to seven connectors to nodes or
other hubs.
23. Some of the interface commonly
found with recent PCs
IDE/ATA: Set up is moderately difficult. Requires
opening your PC and connecting some cables
inside. Performance is much better than parallel or
USB-devices. The cable has 40 wire connectors in it.
IEEE 1394 FireWire: Set up is easy. Excellent
performer. Costly. Requires Windows 98 and higher.
The IEEE 1394 standard for the High Performance
Serial Bus, also called Firewire, is a serial data
transfer protocol and interconnection system.
24. Firewire interface
The advantages of the Firewire
interface are:
High data transfer rate - up to
100 MB/s (800 Mbps), which is
about 60 times faster than USB.
Supports up to 63 devices (16 -
daisy chained) with cable length
up to about 4.5 m (14 feet).
Hot-pluggable (like USB).
Firewire is a plug-and-play bus.
Firewire cables are very easy to
connect (Like USB).

27. Few Questions
What are the main performance parameters to look for?
Data transfer rate (DTR) may be the most important
parameter. The data transfer rate is, in general, a function
of the drive's RPM (i.e., 3600, 4200, 5400, 7200, 10000, or
15000) for a given type of drive interface.
Another important parameter is the total drive's capacity.
How many drives I can install on my computer?
IDE controllers are limited to 4 devices on a chain (2 on
older ones).
SCSI controllers are designed for multitasking and can
support from 7 to 15 devices.
