"The OpenFabrics Enterprise Distribution (OFED)/OpenFabrics Software
is open-source software for RDMA and kernel bypass applications. OFS is
used in business, research and scientific environments that require
highly efficient networks, storage connectivity and parallel computing.
The software provides high performance computing sites and enterprise
data centers with flexibility and investment protection as computing
evolves towards applications that require extreme speeds, massive
scalability and utility-class reliability.
OFS includes kernel-level drivers, channel-oriented RDMA and
send/receive operations, kernel bypasses of the operating system, both
kernel and user-level application programming interface (API) and
services for parallel message passing (MPI), sockets data exchange
(e.g., RDS, SDP), NAS and SAN storage (e.g. iSER, NFS-RDMA, SRP) and
file system/database systems.
The network and fabric technologies that provide RDMA performance
with OFS include: legacy 10 Gigabit Ethernet, iWARP for Ethernet, RDMA
over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), and 10/20/40 Gigabit InfiniBand.
The OFED stack includes software drivers, core kernel-code, middleware, and user-level interfaces. It offers a range of standard protocols, including IPoIB (IP over InfiniBand), SDP, SRP, iSER, RDS
and DAPL (the Direct Access Programming Library). It also supports many
other protocols, including various MPI implementations, and it supports
many file systems, including Lustre and NFS over RDMA."
