PCIe training session for AMD in Penang
剛結束由艾飛思科技 (iPasslabs) 執行長 Eric Shen 在檳城為 AMD 舉辦的一場富有啟發性的 PCIe 培訓課程。
這是一個絕佳的機會,讓我們能更深入地了解高速介面設計與測試——尤其是有關不斷發展的 PCI Express 標準。Eric 深厚的技術知識和實戰經驗,讓這場課程極具價值。非常感謝 AMD 團隊在整個課程中積極參與並提出精彩的問題。期待未來能有更多像這樣的技術交流活動!
歡迎對於培訓課程有興趣的全球客戶們與我們聯絡!


Many products in the market continue to deploy on PCIe® 5.0 platforms, while increasing attention is being placed on the validation stage to ensure product performance, credibility, and stronger market competitiveness. To help customers accelerate validation processes without being limited by time or location, iPasslabs, a PCI-SIG® Authorized Test Lab, is now expanding its official compliance capability to support PCIe® 5.0 at 32.0 GT/s. Since becoming the first PCI-SIG® Authorized Test Lab (ATL) in Asia in 2025, iPasslabs has provided official compliance testing services for PCIe® 4.0 and PCIe® 5.0 up to 16.0 GT/s. We are now further expanding our capability to support PCIe® 5.0 32.0 GT/s official compliance testing, helping customers move more smoothly from Pre-test to Official Compliance Testing. At the same time, PCIe® 6.0 has officially entered the compliance era. Starting from PCI-SIG® Compliance Test Workshop #140, PCIe® 6.0 products are eligible to register for official compliance testing. However, before official certification, Pre-test has become more critical than ever. With the introduction of 64.0 GT/s PAM4 signaling, PCIe® 6.0 significantly increases validation complexity and much higher demands on Signal Integrity, Interoperability, and testing know-how. With extensive experience supporting customer DUTs during official compliance validation and hands-on expertise gained from on-site participation in PCI-SIG® Compliance Workshops, iPasslabs helps customers reduce development risk, improve compliance readiness, and accelerate time-to-market.

Driven by the rapid advancement of AI, data centers are evolving in high-performance “Compute Factories” that power generative AI, large-scale model training, and high-speed inference. As networking architectures continue to evolve from 400G and 800G toward 1.6T, high-speed interconnect technologies have become a critical factor in determining overall computing efficiency. Ensuring interoperability, signal integrity, and system reliability across high-speed networking environments is now a key challenge for the industry. iPasslabs officially joined the InfiniBand Trade Association (IBTA) ecosystem this year and participated in the 43rd InfiniBand™ and RoCE Plugfest in June, marking an important milestone toward Scale-Out Networking validation technologies. Moving forward, iPasslabs will continue to actively engage in technical forums, plugfests, and standards collaboration related to InfiniBand, RoCE, Ethernet, and next-generation Scale-Out Network architectures, accelerating the development of advanced validation capabilities for AI networking infrastructure. Years of expertise in high-speed interface validation, iPasslabs delivers comprehensive solutions covering Ethernet, InfiniBand, optica Communication, and electrical integration tests. From simulation and analysis, pre-test services, to official interoperability validation, iPasslabs helps customers reduce design risks, overcome high-speed transmission challenges, and accelerate time-to-market. As an active member and working group partners of the IEEE, PCI-SIG®, and IBTA, iPasslabs is deeply involved in these technical standards and ecosystem collaboration. By closely following the latest specifications and testing requirements, the company provides trusted, one-stop services aligned with evolving industry demands. In the global race to build AI infrastructure, iPasslabs is committed to becoming the industry's most trusted high-speed interconnect validation partner, empowering customers to meet the challenges of networking and AI data centers.

市場上仍有許多產品持續部署於 PCIe® 5.0 平台,也越來越多產品重視驗證階段,更能證明其效能的可信度跟產業競爭力。 為協助客戶加速驗證流程、不受限於時間地點,身為 PCI-SIG®認證實驗室的 iPasslabs,現正式擴展 PCIe® 5.0 32.0 GT/s 官方驗證服務能力。 自 2025 年正式成為亞洲第一家 PCI-SIG® 認證實驗室,iPasslabs 已提供 PCIe® 4.0 與 PCIe® 5.0(最高至 16.0 GT/s)官方驗證服務。如今,我們進一步支援 PCIe® 5.0 32.0 GT/s 正式驗證測試,協助客戶從 Pre-test 到 Official Compliance Test更順利完成驗證流程。 同時,PCIe® 6.0 也正式進入官方認證時代。自 PCI-SIG® Compliance Test Workshop #140 起,PCIe® 6.0 產品報名官方認證測試。然而,在正式認證之前,Pre-test重要性比以往更加關鍵。PCIe® 6.0 導入PAM4 訊號技術,大幅提高驗證複雜度,對於訊號完整性、互通性以及測試 know-how 都提出更高要求。 憑藉豐富的客戶 DUT 正式驗證支援以及參與 PCI-SIG Compliance Workshop現場測試的實務經驗,iPasslabs 擅長協助客戶降低開發風險、提升認證效率,加速產品上市。
