It is a user space library and API for RDMA programming that isn't tied to any specific form of RDMA hardware. It abstracts away the things that are different between, say, IB Verbs and USNIC and iWARP, and presents a single API that works on them all. To use an analogy I put forward at the Monterey developer conference, if libibverbs (and the various extensions) are more or less like assembly language programming, where the application has to make minor changes to accomodate all of the various hardware types and extensions, libfabric is more like the C programming language version of RDMA programming. --=20 Doug Ledford GPG KeyID: 0E572FDD --=-kxq04FKCrBpoURqbfns2 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAABCAAGBQJVSQfpAAoJELgmozMOVy/dR1EP/1ebTiPF0CdHtT2CjIZGeE7O CT46i3sQOL+SLefqf7XIHI3WCXKAIopHNqUyQ4iAJHjFu1Pz0GPfgNgsQgdDvCqY 6TRfRsFbjAqUAfHp1k33A+Lmr5gS+/kx7u0ny5dRd1yIP6eXUSBoXnY4H73pNCo+ iPtIl+MGuCtqgDnZOHMRrvOZRQOxtADywsGoJ4Tbplme8CypRCfYKrnasvB9nWsi MJ1CiW3N2LyOmnFitIIvc/os18kWgbXmOMtjdgsHDVcUX0l5dqNDw7bYXILyAOIV LBo0O5WMvZmceSe9qhFW7R4bKV6DZTOgmNkIJ+GPWwc++6pznj05JGRCDuEDhLxE i0fBSIkPVL1fNkfssV9cCvE6kcGXWnOXe558dX3bO7ZTgOcf1rp0OypnMkllyHST Fe77RdGhK9ML6QBiCmwK1gJy7ZxxYJMGlw+lPBXnwAGQQRbKKfhdFL1rTQb1Ptwl CcopPjHFmL26m4n+1I9XmOEVnddhUIetVqb2W1+SnDqWZpeLMRSNUVw6k/d0bnVf XW8j1MioKFoJe6VMa4ulUuoecImrt2JAiWasOxWAqspuyrneLY0KBja/VV5QgP67 uQvaNZvrBvabWhFXUVbWGFQAgkEeyc2convbhpfEaQ6ILLSqK2deuYzjFTSqJc4y 1s/GC86OE17y8tD8Nq8q =6oCG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-kxq04FKCrBpoURqbfns2-- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
