Abstract:

DART is an ATM Network Interface Controller chip designed for both high bandwidth and low overhead communication. Innovative features are direct, protected application access to/from the network, host-assisted flow control, and \"message processing\" for flexible low overhead communication mechanisms. DART is being manufactured as a commercial product by Mitsubishi Electric.
