Chelsio at Flash Memory Summit 2023
|
Chelsio participated at Flash Memory Summit 2023 and showcased the performance results of NVMe/TCP Offload, NVMe-oF/iWARP, and iSCSI offloads using FADU SSDs, highlighting the CPU savings, latency and IOPs, and total cost of ownership (TCO) advantages. The following were demonstrated:

Chelsio and F5 NGINX
|
NGINX Plus, offered by F5 NGINX, combines a load balancer, content cache, web server, security controls, and rich application monitoring and management into one easy-to-use software package. Chelsio announced benchmark results which showcase significant performance, CPU utilization, and TCO benefits when utilizing inline TLS/SSL offload and TOE capabilities for NGINX applications. Chelsio and F5 published a paper on how their solution improves NGINX applications' performance, reliability, and security. Chelsio is listed as a Technology Partner on the F5 NGINX site.

Chelsio at SmartNIC Summit 2023
|
Chelsio sponsored a panel session, Best Way to Accelerate Networks Today, at the SmartNIC Summit 2023. The panel discussed how the Chelsio SmartNICs deliver promising performance for large-scale, distributed AI and data science, Cloud, Telcos, and HPC environments. Chelsio also exhibited its latest 7th generation T7 Data Processing Unit (DPU), offering a wide range of industry-leading capabilities. Chelsio demonstrated the below features on the T7 Emulation Platform:

Chelsio demonstrated T7 functioning as a JBOF storage controller, moving the data to/from SSDs completely bypassing the server CPU. With a Celestica Nebula G2 storage expansion system having Micron SSD, connected to the T7 Root Complex (RC), the ARM processor embedded in T7 completely configures and manages the SSD, freeing up the host CPU for application processing. |
| • |
Chelsio demonstrated T7 ARM configured as an iSCSI and NVMe/TCP target, using ASMedia PCIe Switch and Samsung SSD. The ARM cores will offload the processing from host CPU, making T7 the ideal choice for low latency, high-performance and scalable storage deployments using standard Ethernet infrastructure. |

Chelsio announced outstanding NFS/TCP Performance with T5 and T6 Adapters. The benchmark report published compares NFS/TCP Server performance with Chelsio TCP Offload vs. regular L2 NIC in FreeBSD. A major benefit of the reduced CPU utilization enabled by Chelsio TCP Offload is radically reduced Capex for NFS/TCP server deployments. Specifically, ~30% of a typical ~$10k NFS filter head cost is saved by using Chelsio T6 TCP Offload which translates to ~$3K+ savings per head, not to mention the savings in the storage that is hosted by the head. Thanks to an inbox driver in the FreeBSD kernel, T5/T6-based adapters are plug-and-play solutions for extreme networking performance, with concurrent support of feature-rich capabilities like Inline TLS/SSL offload (only T6), Traffic Management, Filtering, iWARP RDMA, SR-IOV Virtual Functions, TOE, and iSCSI. |

Chelsio published a 100G performance comparison of the NGINX Plus web server running with T6 Inline TLS/SSL offload and NVIDIA CX6 kTLS offload. 45% of a typical $5k server cost is saved by using Chelsio T6 instead of NVIDIA ConnectX-6 which translates to $2K+ savings per NGINX server. This can result in a major TCO reduction and boost ROI. These savings will be magnified as data centers transition to 200Gbps and 400Gbps speeds. |

Chelsio published a paper describing the NVMe/TCP PDU Offload capabilities of T7. In addition to offloading TCP/IP and NVMe/TCP PDU digests, DDP support, T7’s peer-to-peer (P2P) capability DMAes the data directly between the network and SSD CMB without the use of host memory and CPU resources, resulting in significant CPU savings and low latency. |

Chelsio published
a paper on Inline IPsec acceleration capabilities of T7 for L2 NIC and Offload traffic. Servers with system load, comprising of cryptographic operations, see great performance improvement by offloading
crypto operations on to the Chelsio T7 adapters. With concurrent support for offloading multiple protocols and crypto operations, Chelsio has taken the Unified Wire solution to the next level. |

Chelsio published
the performance results of NVMe/TCP using Chelsio T6 Offload solution for
both Kernel and User modes. With more than 2.9 million IOPs at the 4K I/O
size, only an 8.69 μs delta latency between
remote and local storage access, up to 50% CPU savings, exceptional
jitter handling capabilities, the Chelsio solution proves to be the
best-in-class at providing the next generation, scalable storage network
over standard and cost-effective Ethernet infrastructure with an
efficient processing path. |

Chelsio published
a paper on how the iWARP enabled T6 25G Unified Wire and Converged Network
Adapters (CNAs) enable a low-cost, plug-and-play, high-performance Storage
Spaces Direct (S2D) solution using standard Ethernet infrastructure. |

Demartek published
a benchmark of iSCSI offload vs. no offload for a class of real world
applications. The results clearly demonstrated the necessity of offload
for 100Gb iSCSI. |
