A tool designed to determine the bandwidth available based on the Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) configuration. For example, it can help ascertain the data throughput achievable with a specific number of lanes and PCIe generation. This facilitates informed decisions about hardware selection and system design.
Accurate bandwidth assessment is crucial for optimizing system performance and preventing bottlenecks. Understanding the relationship between PCIe generations, lane counts, and resulting bandwidth enables informed hardware choices, ensuring components operate efficiently and preventing data transfer limitations. This has become increasingly critical with the rising demands of high-performance computing, data-intensive applications, and evolving PCIe standards.
