10 GbE NIC Adapters — Chelsio

Accelerating Cluster Computing with 10 Gigabit Ethernet

High Performance Ethernet Solution for Clusters

Network interconnect speed is increasing at a faster rate than the system processor performance. This mismatch in processing requirements is negatively impacting application performance. Chelsio’s 10 GbE protocol engine executes full TCP offload
iSCSI, and iWARP RDMA plus direct data placement (DDP) while delivering unified wire interconnect solution including classification, virtualization and traffic management.

Ethernet is now a competitive solution for high performance cluster computing (HPCC), which has traditionally been served by proprietary interconnects. With Ethernet already being used in many HPCC installations, the combined best-of-breed 10 GbE technology from Force10 S-Series resilient switches and Chelsio’s 10 GbE protocol engine delivers breakthroughs in cluster performance to drive Ethernet into mainstream HPCC markets. Due to the ubiquity and standardsbased nature of Ethernet and TCP/IP, it allows the IT staff to leverage existing skills and tools to reduce the total cost of ownership of installing and maintaining their HPCC clusters.
