Software and Downloads

Accelerate networking performance with AMD Solarflare™ Onload™ software. Designed for cloud, enterprise, and containerized environments, Onload software delivers low-latency, high-throughput networking without requiring application changes.

Onload also provides ef_vi™. This is a low-level ultra-low latency networking API that offers the minimum possible latency in applications developed for XtremeScale adapters. For more information refer to the Onload User Guide and the ef_vi User Guide.

AMD Solarflare™ TCPDirect™ is an ultra-low latency networking stack, designed to deliver exceptional performance for latency-sensitive applications. It provides an API for developing highly accelerated network applications. It employs kernel bypass techniques similar to Onload, but achieves even lower latency.

For more information refer to the TCPDirect User Guide.

AMD Solarflare™ network drivers are available here. AMD recommend that you install and use the latest released version of the network driver.

Note: Linux (and Linux based OS distributions) already include a version of the AMD Solarflare network driver. This is known as the OS ‘in-tree’ driver. The in-tree driver supports normal networking operation, but does not support more advanced or recent features available with the latest drivers.

Linux

AMD Solarflare™ firmware and utilities are available here. AMD recommend that you install and use the latest released version of firmware.

Utilities include tools for firmware update, boot ROM configuration, license management on older adapters, driver/hardware configuration and information, and diagnostic reporting.

Linux

The AMD Solarflare™ Enhanced PTP Daemon is an implementation of the IEEE 1588‑2008 Precision Time Protocol version 2. It enables high accuracy synchronization of system clocks across a network. It supports multiple time sources such as remote master PTP clocks, 1PPS signals, external NTP servers, and the clock in a supported local network adapter. By default it automatically selects the best performing of these time sources, but this behavior is highly configurable to suit requirements.

For more information refer to the Enhanced PTP User Guide.
