Sub-$1K Timecode-based SYNC NIC General Availability
17/01/12 10:38 Filed in: Time
This month our new 10G-PCIE2-8C2-2S-SYNC dual-SFP+-port adapter has become generally available. It is specifically designed for applications such as cybersecurity and high frequency trading where accurate timestamping, lossless packet sniffing and injection at line rate, and cutting edge latencies are required.
“With Myricom’s new SYNC network adapters, we can timestamp all incoming packets with 1us precision, allowing us to more accurately measure and monitor the performance of our high frequency trading platform,” said Oleg Chernyakhovskiy, CTO, Lynx Capital Partners, a leading provider of high volume, low latency automated trading applications.
“Myricom’s new SYNC adapter makes precise timestamping accessible for the broad 10-Gigabit Ethernet market,” said Dr. Nan Boden, CEO of Myricom. “Our solution, by using a CDMA or GPS timecode source, gives our customers the capability to accurately timestamp packets without having to sacrifice 10GbE throughput as is the case with competing solutions.”

DBL & Accurate Timestamps
Last week Myricom announced the general availability of DBL™ 2.0.2 software for its Myri-10G 10-Gigabit Ethernet network adapters.
DBL 2.0.2 provides low-latency UDP and TCP communication with transparent socket acceleration for high frequency trading (HFT) environments where cutting-edge latency performance and rapid time to deployment are required for business success. DBL 2.0.2 is supported on Linux and Windows platforms.
New features in DBL 2.0.2 include:
- Support for Myricom’s Sub-$1K Timecode-based SYNC
10-Gigabit Ethernet Adapter.
- High accuracy packet timestamping for Cybersecurity
and HFT applications.
- Support for large numbers of multicast groups (>32)
in acceleration mode.
- Support for 32-bit libraries in transparent acceleration.

High Performance Post Production Video Editing

Since Myricom introduced it's line of Myri-10G 10-Gigabit Ethernet network adapters in early 2006 we've offered extreme performance drivers for a wide range of OSes from Apple's OSX through Windows. This has enabled many of the leading edge video editing technology companies to include them in their storage servers and workstations well ahead of the technology curve.
One vendors uses Myri-10G network adapters to combine the performance benefits of iSCSI SAN protocol with NAS functionality and ease of use, all working over a single network infrastructure. The end result is a faster deployment that is easier to manage, and less expensive than an iSCSI SAN solution, and with even faster data access. For color grading and special effects applications working with uncompressed video at 2K, 3K or even 4K resolution, client machines can achieve 800MB/s over a 10GbE connection. This throughput is faster than traditional Fiber Channel.
Another provider using MCS (Multiple Connections per Session), regularly sustains data rates of 1.2GB/s (10bit 35mm) for 4K video.

Last week a story ran about Myricom’s VideoPump software which is an accelerated video streaming engine running on Myri-10G Extreme Performance 10-Gigabit Ethernet network adapters. VideoPump offers content delivery networks (CDNs), their suppliers, telcos, IPTV and Video on Demand (VOD) providers lower capital and operating expenses as well as higher network utilization, connectivity, and memory efficiency. VideoPump streams standard TCP or UDP packets at line rate with extremely low CPU overhead while providing traffic shaping functionality for better quality of service (QoS) and network efficiency.
