Company overview
About Dolphin ICS.
The hardware portfolio includes host and target adapters, non-transparent bridge adapters, PCIe switches, PXIe interconnect modules, expansion systems and copper or optical cabling. Current products support multiple PCIe generations, including PCIe 4.0 and PCIe 5.0 building blocks for servers, embedded systems and test platforms.
Dolphin eXpressWare software provides SISCI shared-memory APIs, SuperSockets, IP over PCIe, SmartIO, peer-to-peer communication and reflective-memory functions. These technologies support data acquisition, simulation, GPU and FPGA processing, storage, HIL and other low-latency multi-system applications.
Partner products
Dolphin ICS product families.
PCIe Host and NTB Adapters
Host, target and non-transparent bridge adapters for connecting computers and PCIe domains over cable. Adapter selection depends on PCIe generation, lane width, cable type, host topology and whether transparent or non-transparent communication is required.
View productsPXIe Interconnect Modules
PXIe switch and interconnect modules for linking PXIe chassis, hosts and external PCIe systems. These modules connect PXIe chassis with servers, other PXIe systems and external PCIe expansion equipment.
View productsPCIe Expansion Systems
External expansion enclosures and backplanes for GPUs, FPGA cards, storage and other PCIe devices. Expansion platforms provide additional slots and power for accelerators, acquisition cards, FPGA boards and storage devices outside the host enclosure.
View productsPCIe Switches and Cables
Switch boxes, copper cables and optical connectivity for scalable PCIe fabric construction. Switching and cable options support point-to-point, fan-out and multi-host topologies over copper or optical links.
View productseXpressWare Software
Software stack for shared memory, sockets, IP-over-PCIe, SmartIO and application-level PCIe communication. The software layer provides SISCI, SuperSockets, IP over PCIe and management functions for connected PCIe systems.
View productsReflective Memory and SmartIO
Low-latency memory replication and device-sharing technologies for real-time and multi-node systems. These technologies support replicated data, remote device access and low-latency coordination across multiple nodes.
View productsApplications
Engineering application areas.
Distributed data acquisition
Move high-rate measurement data between acquisition, processing and storage nodes with low communication overhead. The architecture suits systems where digitiser, FPGA, GPU and storage nodes exchange large data streams without routing all traffic through conventional network stacks.
GPU and FPGA peer-to-peer
Connect accelerators and hosts for direct data movement in imaging, simulation, AI and signal-processing systems. Direct device communication can reduce host-memory copies and processor overhead in imaging, simulation, AI and signal-processing pipelines.
Real-time reflective memory
Replicate selected memory regions across nodes for deterministic simulation, control and monitoring workflows. Shared data can be replicated across participating systems for HIL, control, training and distributed simulation workflows.
External PCIe expansion
Place PCIe devices outside the host chassis while retaining transparent or software-managed access. Expansion chassis and cable adapters allow PCIe devices to be positioned remotely or added beyond the host chassis capacity.
