Products
Dolphin started out continuing the development of a line of SCI-products from Norsk Data, by implementing customer-specific solutions, as well as providing PCI and later PCIe boards for commodity and High-performance computing systems. Dolphin SCI products are currently available under the Dolphin Express SCI label.
The StarFabric product line was added to the Dolphin interconnect portfolio through the acquisition of StarGen Inc. StarFabric provides a low cost, low latency PCI based interconnect running over standard Ethernet CAT 5 wiring.
Similarly, the Dolphin Express DX product line introduced in 2006 was also acquired from Stargen. DX was based on the ASI standard and implements a PCI Express Gen1 switched-topology technology supporting both host to host communicaiton and host to IO Expansion solutions over a single cable connection.
The Dolphin Express IX product line introduced in 2010 is based on PCI Express Gen2 and Gen3 chipsets from Integrated Device Technology. IX implements a PCIe-native switched-topology technology.
The SISCI api, was developed as an interface for utilizing the shared memory SCI hardware. With the introduction of the IX and DX-line of products, the API was expanded to support features like reflective memory.
SuperSockets is a software infrastructure for Dolphin Express providing a very low latency, high throughput implementation of the Berkeley sockets and Winsock APIs.

Famous quotes containing the word products:
“All that is told of the sea has a fabulous sound to an inhabitant of the land, and all its products have a certain fabulous quality, as if they belonged to another planet, from seaweed to a sailor’s yarn, or a fish story. In this element the animal and vegetable kingdoms meet and are strangely mingled.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The reality is that zero defects in products plus zero pollution plus zero risk on the job is equivalent to maximum growth of government plus zero economic growth plus runaway inflation.”
—Dixie Lee Ray (b. 1924)
“It seemed there was a sort of poisoning, an auto-infection of the organisms, so Dr. Krokowski said; it was caused by the disintegration of a substance ... and the products of this disintegration operated like an intoxicant upon the nerve-centres of the spinal cord, with an effect similar to that of certain poisons, such as morphia, or cocaine.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
