Talk:HyperTransport

message: Whoever originally wrote the first section sucks at researching things. Misuse of the word link was abundant. They should have read the overview and the specifications of the actual technology found here.
http://www.hypertransport.org/default.cfm?page=Technology
I mean, RETARD! I've come back to this page so many times because it made so little sense. I finally got the intelligence to look it up somewhere not editable by the public. Now it is clear as day. I hope my touch ups help somebody else who has had the same issue with that section.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.65.73.206 (talk) 21:51, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: FAIL

message: Does HT qualify as an FSB replacement?  My understanding (and that of the FSB article) is that an FSB is the connection between the CPU and the MCH, which is not what HT serves as - it serves as an external connector for the CPU to a device of any desired functionality with an HT link (could be a Northbridge/MCP, could be another K8, could be a co-processor as per cHT links...).  I want to strike "HT as an FSB replacement" and replace with "HT as an FSB augmentation."  HT does not carry data to memory, which is the defining charachteristic of that particular bus (otherwise it becomes "just another interconnect out of the CPU" so to speak).  
: Actually I wouldn't say that carrying data to memory is the defining feature of a FSB, instead I would say that a FSB is the main connection from a CPU to the rest of the world.  The FSB article itself says as much when it lists the RAM as just one of the things that are connected to over a FSB.  I would rather see this subtlety added to the paragraph.  Perhaps something like:  Many of the processors which utilize HyperTransport including the Opteron and the BCM1480 have an integrated memory controller.  In these uses, HyperTransport does not serve as the local connection to memory as in the classical definition of a FSB.  However, the HyperTransport does serve as the connection to the memory directly connected to other Opterons (or BCM1480's) when these devices are used in NUMA applications.

thread_title:  Link width correction 

message: This is a nice article about a nice technology. But (couldn't you tell that there was a "but" coming?) the first section is rather long, putting the contents box well down the page. So I added an "Overview"  header after the first paragraph. I hope that this makes the article even better.

text: I'm sorry. I forgot to sign my previous post. I'm kinda new to the discussion pages on wikipedia :) So, will this information be written to the main article? I think it's pretty important. -Ofunniku 5:11, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

text: Do you have any sources for this claim ? --Denniss 02:31, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That is highly unlikely. The only instace that HyperTransport ever appeared on Intel platforms is on nVidia chipsets, as the recent nForce chipsets are designed with HyperTransport in mind. Their Intel-compatible chipsets retain most of the features found on the AMD side. Ofunniku 13:06, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Intel HyperTransport 

message: I'm not sure listing server makers in this article makes much sense.  I'm pretty sure if you're building a server that uses AMD Opteron processors, you have to use Hypertransport, and this article is probably not the best place to try to maintain a complete listing of everyone who makes servers that take Opteron processors.  For that matter, I think this article would need to list everyone who makes a motherboard that takes Athlon64 and Athlon64 X2 and Athlon64 X4 processors, too (Asus, Tyan, and HP come to mind as examples who make motherboards / desktop PCs that I've personally worked with that I'm pretty sure have Hypertransport.)
So I think it would be better to just make it clear that using those processors effectively requires Hypertransport, and the articles about those processors can contain lists of manufacturers if there's a need to make such a list.  JNW2 03:00, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Server makers

message: agreed that this is not the place for a comprehensive list of HT server manufacturers, but feel that including a few examples for the sake of illustration is OK as long as it's acompanied by a link to a more compehensive list elsewhere.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.80.214.27 (talk) 13:11, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

message: the article seems to indicate that HT works like a packet switched network but it's not clear how or where the switching takes place.  explanaiton welcome.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.80.214.27 (talk) 13:13, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  where's the switch 

message: might be interesting to add some comparisons to other high performance cpu/memory interconnect architectures (ie, the DEC interconnect mentioned above, SGI's ccNUMA system, sun's fireplane, HP superdome, the crossbar switches that have appeared in some RISC workstations, etc).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.80.214.27 (talk) 13:21, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Is there any reason that the article compares the clockspeeds of HyperTransport to PCI?  Even if that was a fair comparison, why not compare it to a more contemporary connection such as PCI-E?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.150.216.73 (talk) 05:29, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Under HT f Specs section, their is an asterisk at the end of one of the column headers in the table: Max. Bandwidth at
32-Bit unidirectional*   There does not seem to be a reason for this that I could find.  No other mention of unidirectional or 32 bit or anything has an asterisk, and there doesn't seem to be a corresponding one elsewhere on the page to indicate a footnote or additional information regarding the asterisked-text.  There is a bulleted block of text below the table in question, but it doesn't seem to relate clearly to the asterisked-column, though I could be wrong as I don't understand this material well.  Could somebody with a better grasp of things than me figure out what the asterisk is for and make it more clear if necessary?  Thanks. ************************************************--Δζ (talk) 21:14, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

message: Fixed the misapplied GiB in link bandwidth. Since the GHz measure is 10^9, the resulting bandwidth measure is also 10^9, not 2^30. Plaidomatic (talk) 23:34, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

message: The current specification HTX3.1 remains competitive for 2014 high speed ...
The text is hard to read (there's at least a missing parenthesis, in the vicinity of an embedded hard link and a perhaps poorly judged mdash), which unfortunately only helps to obscure that this paragraph goes trotting off to talk about front-side bus issues, without the predominant FSB application of HT having yet been tabled.  — MaxEnt 22:01, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: In my view the introduction needs significant rewording to better represent the much less common modern usage of the HT bus e.g. with AMD at best using a derivative of it in Zen. As such I've put an Update on the article. I don't currently have the breadth of knowledge to know where to start on this though.
