Dolphin introduced the first SCI product line in 1992. SCI products are still available and supported under a valid maintenance and support contract. Please contact Dolphin for more information. New projects are recommended to migrate to the new Dolphin Express IX product family.

The Dolphin PMC-SCI adapter card is a standard, high performance solution for clustered systems, bus bridging and system area network applications. The card provides a transparent, memory-mapped link for PMC and PCI.

The PMC-64/66 Adapter Card is a general-purpose interface for connecting PMC, CompactPCI and VME based systems through SCI links. The card is designed to be utilized in applications such as computer clusters, scalable interconnection of I/O and bus bridging.

Dolphin's industry-leading throughput and low latency result in outstanding application performance and scalability. Its 1333 MBytes/s link speed (bidirectional) makes SCI excellent at moving large volumes of data. The ultra-low 1.46 microsecond latency application-to-application reduces the overhead of internode control messages, leading to the best possible scalability for multi-node applications. SCI's performance is achieved by taking maximum advantage of fast point-to-point links, and bypassing the time consuming operating system calls and protocol software overhead found in traditional networking approaches.

For high availability requirements, SCI provides hot-pluggable connections; and redundant SCI cards can be used to increase fault tolerance. Large clusters can be built using Dolphin Interconnect's compatible scalable switches.

Dolphin offers comprehensive SW support including the SISCI API for a range of popular operating systems.
