A complete deep dive covering the entire spectrum of validation engineering: from storage architectures (NVMe, PCIe, CXL) and high-speed networking (Ethernet, RDMA, DCQCN) to building AI-augmented Python automation frameworks.
By Sumit Somani | Staff Validation Engineer As a Validation Engineer working on next-generation NVMe and CXL hardware, I spend my days looking at how data moves. But before we can talk about advanced
(Post 0.2 in the Advanced Systems Validation Series) If you read the previous post on the Memory Hierarchy, you know that the CPU (The Chef) must fetch all of its data from Storage (The Fridge) and pl
(Post 0.3 in the Advanced Systems Validation Series) In our last post, we saw how hardware engineers connected storage directly to the CPU via the massive, multi-lane PCIe superhighway. But even thoug
(Post 1.1 in the Advanced Systems Validation Series) When you are testing NVMe SSD Controllers in an enterprise validation lab, understanding the theoretical speed of storage is only half the battle.
Post 1.2 in the Advanced Systems Validation Series) In our previous post, we mapped the 7-step journey of an NVMe command. We established that the Host CPU must physically write to a "Doorbell Registe
