Chelsio''s High Performance Programmable 10G Ethernet Adapters Set New LAN Distance and Bandwidth Records; Records Set At Supercomputing 2004 Conference Further Proof 10G Ethernet is Best Technology for High Performance Computing.

Article Excerpt
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Nov. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Chelsio Communications, Inc., the established leader in 10-Gigabit Ethernet server adapters and protocol acceleration technology, provided the critical technology to set new world records for LAN bandwidth and distance, dominating the annual Bandwidth Challenge competition at the Supercomputing 2004 conference in Pittsburgh earlier this month.

The University of Tokyo shattered the world record for speed and distance of Internet communication, sending standard 1500 byte Ethernet packets more than 31,000 kilometers at more than 7 gigabits per second totaling 225,000 terabyte meters per second to win the SC2004 Bandwidth Challenge award for single stream distance and bandwidth.

The Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), together with its partners, achieved the highest aggregate bandwidth ever recorded to win the SC2004 Bandwidth Challenge award for sustained bandwidth, delivering 101 gigabits per second, which quadruples the previous throughput record set a year ago.

Chelsio's T110 10GbE Protocol Engine provided the TCP/IP offload technology breakthrough used in both the University of Tokyo's and SLAC's bandwidth challenge demonstrations, dramatically improving...
