Milo, Following your link, I found the web site of HyperTransport Consotorium: hypertransport.org Just below the news about HT spec becoming public there is this press release: 12.10.01 Hewlett-Packard licenses API NetWorks' enabling technology for next-generation product designs utilizing HyperTransport™ technology api-networks.com Concord, MA, December 10, 2001 -- API NetWorks Inc., a leading developer of high-speed, I/O components and technologies for the performance and bandwidth-intensive communications, networking and storage markets, today announced that its HyperTransportÔ technology core has been licensed by Hewlett-Packard Company (NYSE: HWP) for use in its next-generation product designs. API NetWorks’ technologies provide system design benefits so companies like HP can continue to design new products with increased performance, connectivity and bandwidth easily and in a cost-effective manner. API NetWorks’ I/O component solutions are the crucial building blocks used in the design of HyperTransport systems, by providing the high-speed, in-box interconnect between processors and I/O devices critical for today's networking and communications platforms. Its products retain the fundamental programming model of PCI (Peripheral Component Interface), which means system designers avoid major design overhauls. “The industry’s most well-known companies, from router and server vendors to processor developers, are integrating API NetWorks bridge chip and switch technologies into their next-generation products to meet the I/O demands of today and the future,” said David Rich, general manager at API NetWorks. “We are seeing HyperTransport deployed on all levels within the industry, and the announcement of HP as a customer illustrates the diversity of our customer base and the growing acceptance of HyperTransport as an industry standard.” About HyperTransport HyperTransportä technology was developed by a coalition of high-tech industry leaders who recently formed the HyperTransportä Consortium, a nonprofit corporation that supports the future development and adoption of the HyperTransport technology specification. HyperTransport interconnect technology is a new high-speed, high-performance, point-to-point link for integrated circuits, developed to enable the chips inside of high-performance compute devices, networking and communications devices to communicate with each other faster than with existing technologies. HyperTransport technology's bandwidth of 12.8GB/sec represents up to a 48-fold increase in data throughput, compared with existing system interconnects that typically provide bandwidth up to 266MB/sec. HyperTransport complements externally visible bus standards like the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI), as well as emerging technologies like InfiniBand and 10Gb Ethernet.
