Re: PCIe multipliers, how do they work?

I'm wondering how these things work. The wikipedia PCIe page [1] says: "PCI Express switches can create multiple endpoints out of one endpoint to allow sharing one endpoint with multiple devices." So maybe they use a PCIe switch? Poking around wikipedia and google has thus far uncovered

Re: PCIe multipliers, how do they work?

There are also PCIe cards which provide multiple slots, typically connected with a usb cable. These tend to convert 1 PCIe_x1 slot into multiple PCIe_x1 slots. I get the impression that these do not require bifurcation support. They seem to be aimed at "miners" these cards consist of PCIe

PCIe multipliers, how do they work?

Looking into ways to get additional expansion slots, since board designers cannot count past 7 and often not even that high. :-( There are PCIe riser cards that split a wide slot into 2 or more narrower slots, for example 1 x8 slot becomes 2 x4 slots. These would be very useful, except it
