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:
“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)
“Isn’t it odd that networks accept billions of dollars from advertisers to teach people to use products and then proclaim that children aren’t learning about violence from their steady diet of it on television!”
—Toni Liebman (20th century)
“But, most of all, the Great Society is not a safe harbor, a resting place, a final objective, a finished work. It is a challenge constantly renewed, beckoning us toward a destiny where the meaning of our lives matches the marvelous products of our labor.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
