The Dolphin SCI Technology A/S arm of Oslo, Norway-based Dolphin Server Technology A/S, already has agreement with Vitesse Semiconductor Corp to make chips for its Scalable Coherent Interface high-speed bus in Gallium Arsenide – it runs at 1Gbps – and with Convex Computer Corp to use the thing (CI No 1,932). Now Milpitas, California-based LSI Logic Corp has licensed the technology to do a CMOS implementation of the bus. The new version of the bus, which meets the IEEE 1596-1992 interconnect standard, will be jointly designed by the two companies, and will be manufactured and marketed by LSI Logic, which plans to offer it as an ASIC core through its CoreWare Division.
