OpenRDMA Project: Building an RDMA Ecosystem for Linux
Overview The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is defining a set of protocols, also known as the iWARP stack, for Direct Data Placement and Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) over IP-based transports. The iWARP stack has the potential to solve the current problem of high host processing overhead for user data movement to and from the network. This paper evaluates architectural alternatives and relates them to the design and choice of the programming interfaces currently being defined by the industry. Focusing on the recently started OpenRDMA project for Linux, it identifies one architecture as particularly attractive due to its multi-vendor support with centralized, vendor-independent resource management.
