“Dolphin Interconnect Solutions, a developer and
manufacturer of high speed and low latency interconnect cards, for
UNIX, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and NetWare servers, has introduced
an open sourced Linux driver for its high performance interconnect
cards.”
“Dolphin’s IEEE 1596-1992 standard-based Scaleable Coherent
Interface (SCI) cards offer users high-performance interconnect
solutions for clustering SUN and Intel based workstations,
including SMP systems. SCI cards are also used in connecting
clusters of servers for parallel processing, distributed database
and high-availability applications.”
“The IRM and SISCI drivers are written as kernel modules that
can be dynamically installed and uninstalled. Dolphin SCI
technology enables various cluster topologies, including ring,
star, or 2D-Mesh.”
