"Applications, programming languages, and libraries that leverage sophisticated network hardware capabilities have a natural advantage when used in today’s and tomorrow’s high-performance and data center computer environments. Modern RDMA based network interconnects provides incredibly rich functionality (RDMA, Atomics, OS-bypass, etc.) that enable low-latency and high-bandwidth communication services. The functionality is supported by a variety of interconnect technologies such as InfiniBand, RoCE, iWARP, Intel OPA, Cray’s Aries/Gemini, and others. OFA organization and LinuxRDMA community have been playing a predominant role in the enablement efficient and vendor agnostic software stack for those interconnects. Over the last decade, the community has developed variety user/kernel level protocols and libraries that enable a variety of applications over RDMA including MPI, SHMEM, NFS over RDMA, IPoIB, and many others."
"With the emerging availability server platforms based on ARM CPU architecture, it is important to understand ARM integrates with RDMA hardware and software eco-system. In this talk, we will overview ARM architecture and system software stack. We will discuss how ARM CPU interacts with network devices and accelerators. In addition, we will share our experience in enabling RDMA software stack (OFED/MOFED Verbs) and one-sided communication libraries (Open UCX, OpenSHMEM/SHMEM) on ARM and share preliminary evaluation results."
