Chapter 1. Introducing the Lanner Coleto Creek
Acceleration Modules
Lanner’ products which utilize Intel Coleto Creek technology include network modules
NCS2-ICE03A and PCIe acceleration card AV-ICE02/AV-ICE04/AV-ICE05. These
modules utilize the latest Intel® Communications Chipset 8925 or 8950 Series silicon
and are designed to efficiently increase performance for communications infrastructure
systems.
More specifically, they are I/O interfaces with Intel QuickAssist Accelerator to optimize
I/O performance on data compression and encryption on platforms powered by Intel
Xeon and Core Processors.
This document provides information on how to quickly set up an environment and build
and install the QuickAssist software.
For each supported acceleration service (Cryptographic, Data Compression), the
following client access usage models are supported:
z Kernel mode, where both the client and the service(s) are running in kernel space.
z Direct user space access to services running in user space. In this model, both the
client and service(s) are running in user space and access to the hardware is also
performed from user space.
The Intel® Communications Chipset 8925/8950 Series Software for Linux has been
validated with Fedora 16 32-bit and x86_64.
