Processor-Based Platform With 64-Bit Linux OS
San Jose, CA -- 2005 년 4 월 21 일 --LeWiz Communications, Inc. today makes available its
Magic2020TM card with TCP/IP offload engine (TOE) on the 64-bit AMD Opteron™
processor-based platform. The TOE card is available for Linux 2.6 kernel in both 32-
and 64- bit modes. It has been tested with Novell s SUSETM Linux Enterprise Server 9
distribution. Other Linux 2.6 distributions will be qualified in the near future.
“The revolutionary AMD Opteron processor with Direct Connect Architecture can
dramatically reduce memory bottlenecks and improve system efficiency with AMD
PowerNow!™ technology, said Pat Patla, director, server/workstation marketing,
Microprocessor Business Unit, Computation Products Group, AMD (NYSE: AMD).
“LeWiz - with its unique architecture — can help enable a new level of performance while
maintaining the AMD Opteron processor’s low power consumption. This is desirable for
high-performance computing systems and other applications where cooling is a concern.”
“Combining a dynamite 64-bit machine like the AMD Opteron processor with the high-performance,
low-power TOE card for the I/O subsystem produces an extremely high-efficiency
computing platform — irresistible for the true engineers,” said Chinh Le,
LeWiz s CEO/CTO.
LeWiz s Magic2020 TOE card used LeWiz s LE2020 TOE chip and has been available
