Intel I/O Acceleration Technology

Intel announced new technology today that embeds TCP/IP Offload Engine functions on a processor instead of a network card. The chipmaking giant said the problem is that CPU performance and network bandwidth have improved, but not the method for moving TCP/IP data.

Dubbed the Intel I/O Acceleration Technology (I/OAT), the chipset add-on speeds up the protocol stack in a CPU, allowing the chip to do its own job and not depend so much on network traffic as it waits for the subsystem. The technology also includes data copying performed in a chipset, parallel processing of data and commands, and direct memory access in network controller. Intel said putting the TOE capabilities inside a chip instead of relying on a separate card increased performance in 90 percent of the applications it tested.(continue at source)
