Focus on acceleration of application-specific workloads to improve
price-performance of security and routing systems
MILPITAS, Calif., April 8, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- LSI
Corporation (NYSE: LSI) today announced that it will present the results of
research and benchmarking tests conducted using Intel(R) QuickAssist
Technology to couple high-performance Tarari(R) content processing
accelerators and Quad-Core Intel(R) Xeon(R) processors at the RSA
Conference 2008, held April 7-11 at the Moscone Center, San Francisco,
Calif.
LSI has also created a standard lab environment to conduct performance
benchmarking studies that will allow developers to accelerate
application-specific workloads when coupling Tarari content processing
technology within Quad-Core Intel(R) Xeon(R) processor-based systems.
Application-specific workloads will include intrusion prevention,
anti-virus, anti-spyware, compliance, QoS, content-based filtering and
billing, and technologies for securing XML traffic. Design blueprints,
studies, white papers and articles will be published on both the LSI and
Intel website for the industry as part of a long-term, on-going program.
"These blueprints, research and benchmarks are critical for developers
building next-generation storage and networking switches and appliances,"
said Randy Smerik, senior vice president, Network Components Group, LSI.
"We are committed to sharing our thought leadership in this area and make
it as easy as possible to best utilize content processing technology
alongside multi-core processor platforms."
Pranav Mehta, senior principal engineer and chief technical officer,
Embedded and Communications Group, Intel, added, "Effective integration of
accelerators is an integral part of the Intel QuickAssist technology
initiative to deliver market-leading solutions on Intel architecture. We
are working with LSI to provide optimization and interoperability between
Quad-Core Intel(R) Xeon(R) processors and LSI Tarari content processors
which provides customers enhanced performance and improved time-to-market
for secure applications."
Smerik and Mehta will be discussing the first performance findings on a
panel at the conference on Friday, April 11, at 11:10 a.m. titled
"Multi-Core Intel Architecture plus Accelerators: A Performance Study."
LSI will also demonstrate the benchmarks and lab setup at the RSA
Conference Exposition in its booth (#500) during exhibit hours daily.
Additional demonstrations will be shown at Interop 2008 in Las Vegas, April
27-May 2, and the Infosecurity Europe conference in London, April 22-24.
