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.
