1-6 Alacritech Accelerator Hardware Installation Guide (Fiber)
an innovative application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) for
protocol processing.
Products using SLIC Technology architecture increase server
performance and efficiency in a number of ways:
• Protocol processing is offloaded onto the Accelerator,
freeing the CPU for application processing and
maximizing throughput.
• The Alacritech Internet Protocol Processor (IPP)
programmable ASIC, optimized for protocol
processing, delivers faster performance than general-
purpose CPUs.
The SLIC Technology architecture eliminates the burden of protocol
processing on the host CPU. By offloading protocol processing,
Alacritech Accelerators free the system for application processing,
boosting server and storage system performance.
