With both the Altera and Xilinx PCIe Dev Kits up and running, the task turns to working up repeatable measurement practice for both
Latency and
Throughput. Initially, we will measure to and from main memory (endpoint/root-complex); later we will measure (endpoint-endpoint). The mainboard chipset (AMD 790FX on this platform) has a lot to do with this - but by comparing various endpoint/root-complex observations, we will be able to deduce the individual contributions.
