3. PRODUCT OVERVIEW
3.1 Overview
The S SC150e cards are backwards compatible with S and the
original SCRAMNet
Classic product with the exception of the GOLD RING
communication protocol.
The S SC150e products use an enhanced architecture where shared memory
read operations bypass the SCRAMNet ASIC for improved performance. Although both
PIO and DMA operations are improved, DMA operations will give the greatest increase
in performance. For PIO read operations, the overall system performance is also
improved as read latency is reduced, the number of PCI retries is decreased, and the PCI
bus utilization is improved. However, the performance increase is limited by PIO
accesses by the host
