Broadcom NICs Now Supported by Emergent Software on Linux

Emergent Vision Technologies is pleased to announce that its eCapture Pro and eSDK software products now support the dual-port 100G P2100G and quad-port 25/10G network interface cards (NICs) on the Linux operating system. Both NICs are RDMA-ready and support Emergent’s renowned zero-copy imaging technique, which enables efficient image transfer with minimal CPU overhead, a crucial capability for multi-camera setups and real-time processing.

Based on Broadcom’s scalable 10/25/50/100/200G Ethernet controller architecture, the P425G NIC includes a PCIe Gen4 x16 host connector, an SFP28 connector, four ports, and RoCEv2 support. The P2100G is based on the same architecture, offering a PCIe Gen4 x16 host connector, a QSFP56 connector, two ports, and RoCEv2 support. Users can expect performance comparable to the NVIDIA Mellanox NICs that Emergent already supports.
