1.4.1 SCSI Performance
Toi mproveSCSI performance,the LSI53C875A:
Has integrated SE transceivers.
Bursts up to 512 bytes across the PCI bus through its 944 byte FIFO.
Performs wide, Ultra SCSI synchronous transfers as fast as
40 Mbytes/s.
Can handle phase mismatches in SCRIPTS without interrupting the
system processor, eliminating the need for CPU intervention during
an I/O disconnect/reselect sequence.
AchieveUltra SCSI transfer rates with an input frequencyof 20 MHz
with the on-chip SCSI clock quadrupler.
Includes 4 Kbytes internal RAM for SCRIPTS instruction storage.
Has 31 levels of SCSI synchronous offset.
Supports variable block size and scatter/gather data transfers.
Performs sustained memory-to-memory DMA transfers to
approximately 100 Mbytes/s.
Minimizes SCSI I/O start latency.
Performs complex bus sequences without interrupts, including
restoring data pointers.
Reduces ISR overhead through a unique interrupt status reporting
method.
Uses Load/StoreSCRIPTS instructions which increase performance
of data transfers to and from the chip registers without using PCI
cycles.
Has SCRIPTS support for 64-bit addressing.
Supports multithreaded I/O algorithms in SCSI SCRIPTS with fast
I/O context switching.
