Chelsio has engineered five generations of silicon technology, the latest with the January 2013 announcement of the Terminator 5 ASIC. The T5 is a highly integrated, hyper virtualized 10/40Gb Ethernet controller built around a programmable processing engine. As with its predecessors, the T5 is designed for high performance clustering, storage and data networks. For more information on the Terminator ASICs, which have been designed into more than 200 platforms and has more than 400,000 ports shipped worldwide, please click on the appropriate link below.
40 Gigabit Ethernet iWARP RDMA, iSCSI, TOE, FCoE NIC Engine The Terminator 5 (T5) is Chelsio’s fifth generation ASIC. A highly integrated, hyper-virtualized 10/40GbE controller, the T5 is built around a programmable protocol-processing engine, with full offload of a complete Unified Wire solution comprising NIC, TOE, iWARP RDMA, iSCSI, FCoE and NAT support. The T5 [...]

The Terminator 4 ASIC represents Chelsio’s fourth-generation TCP offload (TOE) design, third-generation iSCSI design, and second-generation iWARP (RDMA) implementation. In addition to full TCP and iSCSI offload, T4 supports full Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) offload. The T4 will begin sampling to key OEM partners in Q2, and broad availability is expected in Q3. Key new features include:
