4Gbps, Dual-Ported TCP/IP Accelerated NIC Available for 64-bit AMD Opteron Processor-based Platform With 64-bit Linux OS.SAN JOSE, Calif. -- LeWiz Communications, Inc. today makes available its Magic2020(TM) card with TCP/IP offload engine See TOE. (TOE) on the 64-bit AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, www.amd.com) A major manufacturer of semiconductor devices including x86-compatible CPUs, embedded processors, flash memories, programmable logic devices and networking chips. Opteron(TM) processor-based platform. The TOE card is available for Linux 2.6 kernel in both 32- and 64- bit modes. It has been tested with Novell's SUSE(TM) Linux Enterprise Server 9 distribution. Other Linux 2.6 distributions will be qualified in the near future. "The revolutionary AMD Opteron processor with Direct Connect Architecture can dramatically reduce memory bottlenecks and improve system efficiency with AMD PowerNow!(TM) technology," said Pat Patla, director, server/workstation marketing, Microprocessor Business Unit, Computation Products Group, AMD (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :AMD). "LeWiz -- with its unique architecture -- can help enable a new level of performance while maintaining the AMD Opteron processor's low power consumption. This is desirable for high-performance computing systems and other applications where cooling is a concern." "Combining a dynamite 64-bit machine like the AMD Opteron processor with the high-performance, low-power TOE card for the I/O subsystem produces an extremely high- efficiency computing platform -- irresistible for the true engineers," said Chinh Le, LeWiz's CEO/CTO. LeWiz's Magic2020 TOE card used LeWiz's LE2020 TOE chip and has been available with Linux 2.4 kernel for multiple computing platforms. Its performance has been independently certified and been shown to dramatically improve the system efficiency while boosting system throughput to wire rate. The Magic2020 has 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports. Both ports can work simultaneously and supporting up to 256K TCP/IP TCP/IP in full Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Standard Internet communications protocols that allow digital computers to communicate over long distances. sessions. About LeWiz Communications, Inc. LeWiz is the world's leading supplier of hardware-based TCP Offload Engine TCP Offload Engine or TOE is a technology used in network interface cards to offload processing of the entire TCP/IP stack to the network controller. It is primarily used with high-speed network interfaces, such as gigabit Ethernet and 10 gigabit Ethernet, where processing (TOE) solutions that enable the highest performance, and lowest power consumption in networked systems based on chip performance not on hype. The LeWiz chips are designed to optimize efficiency and data delivery in servers, network-attached storage, iSCSI storage devices, and RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) A communications protocol that provides transmission of data from the memory of one computer to the memory of another without involving the CPU.
