On Monday, May 14th at 18:30, Haifux will gather to hear a talk by Dotan 
Barak:

   InfiniBand, RoCE and RDMA Verbs - Empowering Supercomputing and Data 
Center Interconnects

Abstract

This lecture aims to provide a brief introduction to the InfiniBand 
architecture and programming using RDMA verbs. InfiniBand is an open 
standard, used in HPC (supercomputing) and data center environments for 
high performance connectivity. This standard defines a complete fabric 
architecture, from the physical layer all the way to the programming 
API. The programming API, also known as RDMA verbs, allows for 
transparent memory operations over the network, transport layer 
offloading, and a complete kernel bypass.
