The Problem with Existing Methods

Oct 13, 2025 by recoveryshake.com 26 views

Introduction

In the world of SAS and SATA development, capturing and analyzing massive amounts of data can be a daunting task. Developers and integrators often struggle with how to efficiently capture data, ensure its accuracy, and quickly search for areas of interest. SerialTek's BusXpert was designed to address these challenges, providing a powerful solution for SAS and SATA developers and integrators.

The Problem with Existing Methods

Existing methods of dealing with the upload and display of trace data were not efficient enough, leading to key innovations found only in the BusXpert software. These innovations include pre-indexing, trace-processing, trace-formatting, and compression. Pre-indexing enables fast displaying of, searching for, and hiding of the captured bus activity. Trace-processing works with pre-indexing to allow for quicker display of transactions, lowers the time needed for searching, and allows saved traces to perform just as fast as traces stored on the BusXpert. Trace-formatting enables efficient use of the host system's disk space, allowing more traces to be saved without the extra data found in other trace formats. Compression is used to cut down on the space needed for repetitive SAS and SATA link layer traffic and also utilize the pipe connection to the host system more effectively.

How BusXpert Solves the Problem

BusXpert's software was designed from the ground up to fully utilize the fast pipes and large buffers. This allows for efficient capture and analysis of massive amounts of data. The software's innovations enable developers and integrators to:
