Cavium
Cavium, Inc. was a fabless semiconductor company founded in 2000 and headquartered in San Jose, California, that designed multicore processors and networking silicon for enterprise, data center, cloud, and service-provider infrastructure. Its product families included OCTEON multicore MIPS and ARM network and security processors, ThunderX ARM-based server SoCs, Nitrox security processors, LiquidIO intelligent adapters and smart NICs, and the FastLinQ Ethernet and Xpliant switch lines it gained through its 2016 acquisition of QLogic. Cavium was a publicly traded company (NASDAQ: CAVM) before being acquired by Marvell Technology Group in July 2018 for roughly 6 billion US dollars. Its technology now ships as part of Marvell's networking and infrastructure processor portfolio. As a silicon and hardware vendor, Cavium never operated a public developer API program or web API surface.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
Cavium is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Cavium scores 6.8/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

Cavium is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.
