Find out why 10Gb Ethernet is a better choice for your HPC environment (2009)
This report highlights performance benefits of 10GbE over DDR IB for real life applications

STAC reports highlight Chelsio TOE benefits (2008)
STAC measured performance of a market data stack based on RMDS6 to measure latency and throughput and demonstrated benefits of Chelsio's TOE.

NCSU tests highlight Chelsio TOE performance (2008)
In recent tests conducted Chelsio's adapters sustained line rate throughput for various combinations of workload.

Chelsio performance highly suited for financial services (2008)
This report illustrates the performance of Chelsio's 10GbE solution and its benefits in HPC environments. Chelsio's performance is compared with that of InfiniBand...

10GbE shows more than 2x FC performance (2007)
This is a study by NetApp & IBM that shows 10GbE has more than 2x the performance of 4Gb FC for running Oracle RAC and Microsoft Exchange applications. The results are now being done again with TOE.

Sandia Labs compares 10GbE & IB (2007)
This tri-labs study describes the performance of InfiniBand versus 10GbE for cluster sizes of up to 128 nodes. It is shown that for node counts of 14 or more, that 10GbE has 5x the bandwidth of SDR-IB. This is because of a lack of built-in congestion control and adaptive routing in IB and is not a function of the link speed. Therefore DDR IB will behave the same.

Osaka University installs largest 10GbE cluster using Chelsio NICs (2007)
This is a summary of the 700-node TOE cluster at Osaka University . The largest 10Gb installation to date and in the top 50 supercomputer clusters in the HPC space.

NFS over RDMA (2007)
This is a study by Sandia that shows that 10GbE has 4x the performance of DDR IB for NFS applications

Chelsio Unified Wire (2007)
There are several approaches to a unified wire and not all fabric convergence schemes produce the same results. This document describes a top down approach and why Chelsio’s is the right one.
