NFS/RDMA

The NFS/RDMA project will update the OpenSolaris implementation of RPC for infiniband transports. The update will follow the outstanding proposals within the IETF NFSv4 working group.

The IETF NFSv4 WG documents of interest are:

1. NFS RDMA Problem Statement
2. RDMA Transport for ONC RPC
3. NFS Direct Data Placement

A team at Ohio State University under the direction of Dhabaleswar K. (DK) Panda has been working from an initial prototype done at Sun. There is a functional NFS/RDMA at this point and the focus recently has been on performance modifications for the best read and write throughput.

Look here for the email/discussion archive and subscription information.
