RapidIO: Optimized for low-latency processor connectivity
Interconnect architectures reflect the problems they are designed to solve. Focusing too heavily on raw bandwidth metrics often misses more important attributes such as reliability, determinism, and latency, which continue to be critical factors in embedded computing design. Comparing interconnects based on these criteria demonstrates the advantages of using RapidIO for connecting today's high-performance processors and the tightly coupled computing systems of the future.
