Abstract

InfiniBand, a proprietary high speed, low latency networking technology that has been most successful as an interconnection technology in High Performance Computing centers, is discussed. The attractiveness of its remote direct memory access (RDMA) approach is covered. Also discussed are queue pairs, transfer semantics, InfiniBand verbs, InfiniBand for High Performance Computing, and other implementations such as RoCE and iWARP.

Footnotes
1
A kernel is the most basic part of most operating systems. It connects applications to data processing in the computer’s hardware. Kernel address space is used exclusively by the kernel, kernel extensions, and most device drivers while user space is where the user applications reside and work.
 
2
Middleware is software which connects application software to the operating system. An example of middleware is a web browser. Some types of middleware are eventually incorporated into newer versions of operating systems. An example of this migration is TCP/IP.
 
3
Copy avoidance methods use less copying of data to memory by the operating system leading to higher data transfer rates. Zero copy methods make no copies.
 
4
“Semantics” is the meaning of computer instructions—“syntax” is their format.
