SNIA Developer Conference September 15-17, 2025 | Santa Clara, CA
Abstract
In today's world of AI/ML, high-performance computing, and data centers, RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) is essential due to its ability to provide high-speed, low-latency data transfer. This technology enhances scalability, reduces CPU overhead, and ensures efficient handling of massive data volumes, making it crucial for modern computing environments. But how does it actually work?
In this session, we'll define RDMA, explore its historical development, and its significant benefits. In addition, we’ll provide an in-depth look at RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) and InfiniBand (IB), cover the fundamental objects, Verbs API, and wire protocol.
Key Takeaways
- Insights into the historical development and evolution of RDMA technology
- Comprehensive understanding of RDMA and its role in modern computing
- Detailed exploration of RDMA implementations
Explanation of fundamental RDMA components, such as the Verbs API and wire protocol (e.g., IB and RocE)
