Broadcom Corporation - HT-2100 - HyperTransport™ SystemI/O™ Controller With PCI Express®

The HT-2100 is targeted at the volume server and workstation market with the capability to efficiently span from one-to-eight sockets without incurring large latencies. Broadcom's HT-2100 is a highly-scalable SystemI/O solution for 64-bit/32-bit processors that CAN be configured to meet OEMs' needs for a variety of product segments. The dual socket configuration shown above CAN be used for mainstream tower and rack server, as well as high-end workstations. Additional HT-2100 devices CAN be added to a system to scale to larger multisocket servers. The HT-2100 is a high-performance HyperTransport to PCIe bridge, capable of tunneling the data between the two HyperTransport ports. The HyperTransport tunneling enables an efficient quad-socket system as shown above (on the right), where a base configuration CAN be created with fewer devices.
