InfiniBand 1X Pod for Bus Doctor Analyzer

The InfiniBand pod supports bi-directional transfers at 1X speeds (2.5Gb/sec). In addition to decoding all the native and management InfiniBand protocol, the analyzer also decodes IP packets. When configured with the deepest memory option, the InfiniBand pod allows the user to store over 1GByte of InfiniBand traffic. Whenever errors are detected, the analyzer displays the 10b codes as well as the 8b codes. It detects coding, framing and disparity errors. The statistics display shows error rates, bus utilization and a variety of other measurements. It provides the features needed by hardware engineers including multi-level triggering, filtering, state configuration, and timing analysis of InfiniBand packets.

InfiniBand Displays
At the Command level, the InfiniBand analyzer provides a big-picture view for testers who are troubleshooting system-level or application-level issues. The State display provides decoding of each Double-word transfer for users who need to monitor InfiniBand software, device drivers or firmware. If you want to see the data byte name and value, 10b data patterns, and running disparity and for each event, just mouse-over the data column and a pop-up window will show you the information.

InfiniBand Capturing
The Infiniband analyzer provides both timing modes and state modes. In timing mode, all transitions can be stored, while in state mode the capture can be configured to include:

• All Events
• Ordered Sets
• Idle Data
• Flow Control packets
• Data Packets
• All Errors

Custom State Modes can also be created.

InfiniBand Triggering
The InfiniBand Analyzer provides high-level trigger configurations for most common trigger scenarios. The high-level triggers provide drop-down boxes that enable the user to select specific commands, addresses, etc from a list without memorizing opcodes or positions. Users can also create and save custom triggers.

InfiniBand Trace Filtering
The InfiniBand analyzer provides allows you to define custom filters. The custom filter allows you to easly select commonly used high-level filter configurations. Many of the high-level filters provide drop-down boxes for configuration options. You may save custom filters set-ups for future use.

InfiniBand Statistics
The Real-Time Monitor can be easily configured so you can see interesting and usable bus statistics while taking a trace or at any other time.
