Everyone's talking about how USB4 can do the same job perfectly well with host-to-host networking or presenting as a disk, i.e. target disk mode.
That's lame and no fun. Why not do something more exciting and fast and furious (the author said, sarcastically), like PCIe DMA over USB4? I want to send files as fast I can stream vertices to a GPU dammit!
- dathinab 2y agoLike mentioned in the article Thunderbolt Share contains two fast file sharing modes.l Furthermore Thunderbolt Share is focused on TB5 so ~120Gbps which is roughly PCIe4 x8 / PCIe5 x4 so it's getting there ;)
- stephenr 2y agoAssuming you're referring to the DMA vulnerability, that isn't present when doing IP over TB, because it doesn't use the PCIe layer. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderbolt_(interface) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderbolt_(interface)
