Chelsio has engineered four generations of silicon technology, with the announcement of the Terminator 4 ASIC in March 2010. Based on a pipelined VLIW engine design, Chelsio’s ASICs deliver unparalleled performance for LAN, SAN and Cluster applications. For more information on the T3, which has been designed into more than 100 platforms and has more than 100,000 ports worldwide, or for a look at the fourth generation Terminator, please click on the appropriate link below.
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:
