<div>Does anyone know, or know where to find out, how long it takes to do a store to a device register on a Nahelem system with a PCIexpress device? Also, does write combining work with such a setup?</div><div><br></div><div>
I recall that the QLogic Infinipath uses such features to get good short message performance, but my memory of it is pre- Nahelem.</div><div><br></div><div>Question 2 - if the device stores to an address on which a core is spinning, how long does it take for the core to return the new value?</div>
<div><br></div><div>These questions are to inform my thinking on PCIe device design.</div><div><br></div><div>-Larry</div><div><br></div><div>(Apologies if a duplicate with misspellings appears, I sent an earlier version from an off-list email.)</div>
