Comparative Performance Analysis of RDMA-Enhanced Ethernet

Tags:
ethernet

Overview Since the advent of high-performance distributed computing, system designers and end-users have been challenged with identifying and exploiting a communications infrastructure that is optimal for a diverse mix of applications in terms of performance, scalability, cost, wiring complexity, protocol maturity, versatility, etc. Today, the span of interconnect options for a cluster typically ranges from local-area networks such as Gigabit Ethernet to system-area networks such as InfiniBand. New technologies are emerging to bridge the performance gap (e.g. latency) between these classes of high-performance interconnects by adapting advanced communication methods such as Remote Direct-Memory Access (RDMA) to the Ethernet and IP environment.
