Custom-VLSI Chips

Myricom's switch and interface products are based on Myricom's own custom-VLSI chips. Myricom sells certain of these chips to selected OEM, military-system, and research customers, who use them for a wide variety of applications. Due to the level of engineering and technical support required from Myricom for these chips to be used, they are sold only in volume. Please direct inquiries and requests for pricing to vlsi@myri.com.

The documentation of the Lanai chips is provided here also as hardware documentation for people who program the Lanai. Other Lanai documentation will be found on or linked from the http://www.myri.com/scs/ software and customer support pages.
