In today's fast growing server, RAID, and workstation marketplaces,
higher levels of performance, scalability and reliability are required to stay
competitive in the SAN market.
The LSIFC929 provides the performance and flexibility to meet
tomorrow's FC connectivity requirements.
The LSIFC929 and the LSI Logic software drivers provide superior
performance and lower host CPU overhead than other competitive
solutions. Because of its high level of integration and streamlined
architecture, the LSIFC929 provides the highest level of performance in
a more cost effective FC solution.
Figure 1.2
shows the functional block diagram for the LSIFC929. The
architecture maximizes performance and flexibility by deploying fixed
gates in critical performance areas and utilizing multiple ARM RISC
processors (two for context management and an additional one for the
I/O Processor). Each of the major blocks is briefly described below.
