Exablaze Announces ExaNIC X10, First Network Card to Break Microsecond Barrier for TCP/UDP

MELBOURNE, Australia, Feb. 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — Exablaze, a leading developer and manufacturer of ultra-low-latency network devices, today publicly announced the release of its next generation ExaNIC X10 network card. The ExaNIC X10 boasts an industry-leading half-round-trip latency of 780 nanoseconds. This is the time measured from the wire to a software application and back to the wire, for raw frames.

Users can accelerate their existing network applications with the provided Exasock software to enable sub-microsecond TCP/UDP performance. Exasock allows standard Linux sockets applications to transparently bypass the kernel resulting in dramatic latency reduction without having to even recompile code. … Read More → "Exablaze Announces ExaNIC X10, First Network Card to Break Microsecond Barrier for TCP/UDP"

Vector Fabrics Slashes Development Time and Cost of Complex Embedded Systems Using Dynamic Analysis

Zaltbommel, The Netherlands – February 10, 2016 – Today, Vector Fabrics announced the full release of Pareon Verify, a dynamic analyzer that detects hard-to-find errors that appear only in the execution of an application. Due to their sensitivity to changes in timing and environment, run-time errors tend to be missed by traditional testing and have a greater likelihood of not being found until they cause problems in the field. At this point, however, the error may have resulted in serious injury, loss of life, … Read More → "Vector Fabrics Slashes Development Time and Cost of Complex Embedded Systems Using Dynamic Analysis"
