RDMA is used in many places, mainly because of the high performance that it allows to achieve. In this post, I will provide tips and tricks on how to optimize RDMA code in several aspects. General tips Avoid using control...
When writing a new RDMA application (just like when writing a new application over sockets), one should decide which QP type he should work with. In this post, I will describe in detail the characteristics of each transport type. In...
const char *ibv_wc_status_str(enum ibv_wc_status status);const char *ibv_wc_status_str(enum ibv_wc_status status); Description ibv_wc_status_str() returns a string that describes a Work Completion status enumerated value. Parameters Name Direction Description status in The Work Completion status that its string description is requested Return Values...
const char *ibv_event_type_str(enum ibv_event_type event);const char *ibv_event_type_str(enum ibv_event_type event); Description ibv_event_type_str() returns a string that describes an asynchronous event type enumerated value. Parameters Name Direction Description event in The asynchronous event type that its string description is requested Return Values...
const char *ibv_port_state_str(enum ibv_port_state port_state);const char *ibv_port_state_str(enum ibv_port_state port_state); Description ibv_port_state_str() returns a string that describes a logical port state enumerated value. Parameters Name Direction Description port_state in The logical port state that its string description is requested Return Values...
const char *ibv_node_type_str(enum ibv_node_type node_type);const char *ibv_node_type_str(enum ibv_node_type node_type); Description ibv_node_type_str() returns a string that describes a node type enumerated value. Parameters Name Direction Description node_type in The node type that its string description is requested Return Values Value Description...
enum ibv_rate mult_to_ibv_rate(int mult);enum ibv_rate mult_to_ibv_rate(int mult); Description mult_to_ibv_rate() converts a multiplier value of 2.5 Gbit/sec to an InfiniBand transmission rate enumeration value. For example, if mult is 2, the rate enumeration IBV_RATE_5_GBPS will be returned. Parameters Name Direction Description...
int ibv_rate_to_mult(enum ibv_rate rate);int ibv_rate_to_mult(enum ibv_rate rate); Description ibv_rate_to_mult() converts an InfiniBand transmission enumeration rate to a multiple of 2.5 Gbit/sec (the base rate). For example, if rate is IBV_RATE_5_GBPS, the value 2 will be returned (5 Gbit/sec = 2...
int ibv_detach_mcast(struct ibv_qp *qp, const union ibv_gid *gid, uint16_t lid);int ibv_detach_mcast(struct ibv_qp *qp, const union ibv_gid *gid, uint16_t lid); Description ibv_detach_mcast() detaches a Queue Pair from a multicast group. After the detachment completes, this QP won't get a copy of...
int ibv_attach_mcast(struct ibv_qp *qp, const union ibv_gid *gid, uint16_t lid);int ibv_attach_mcast(struct ibv_qp *qp, const union ibv_gid *gid, uint16_t lid); Description ibv_attach_mcast() attaches a Queue Pair to a multicast group. After the attachment completes, this QP will be provided with a...
