Our benchmark tests show that Chelsio Communications has delivered the first 10G Ethernet adapter card that simultaneously achieves high throughput, low latency, and more importantly, low CPU utilization all while using the ubiquitous TCP/IP protocol suite with standard 1500-byte packets. Keeping CPU utilization low frees the CPU to work on other important computing tasks in parallel. Using high-speed Ethernet as the interconnect technology is preferred for many reasons, particularly its ubiquity and ease of deployment. -Wu Feng

Boost Performance and Simplify
A single 10GbE connection provides much more bandwidth than today's typical cluster fabric, LAN, and SAN connections combined, and Chelsio's protocol-offload technology reduces latency to meet the stringent requirements of cluster fabrics. Ethernet-only clustering reduces the interfaces, cabling, switches, rack space, power, equipment spares, management tools, planning, and networking skills needed to keep the supercomputer center going.
