About Product
Description
Delivering Uncompromising Performance
Solarflare’s Onload application acceleration software is a Linux-based, high-performance kernel-bypass network stack that provides acceleration of TCP- and UDP-based applications, with no modification to existing applications. Onload is ideally suited for network-intensive applications that benefit from low latency and/or high message rates, including financial services, web and cloud applications, and other High-Performance Computing (HPC) applications.
Enabling Application Network Acceleration
Onload comprises a user-level shared library that implements the protocol stack, and a supporting kernel module. By operating in user space, Onload dramatically reduces CPU interrupts, data copies and context switching — resulting in reduced latency and higher message rates. Key benefits include:
- Direct connection between applications and networks
- Reduced latency by 80%
- Improved message rates by 20x
- Near zero jitter
- Efficient CPU utilization
- Compatible with TCP/IP and existing applications
- Massive scalability
