  • Optimizing remote direct memory access (RDMA) with cache aligned operations
    Patent number: 10140246
    Abstract: A system for optimizing remote direct memory accesses (RDMA) is provided. The system includes a first computing device and a second computing device disposed in signal communication with the first computing device. The first and second computing devices are respectively configured to exchange RDMA credentials during a setup of a communication link between the first and second computing devices. The exchanged RDMA credentials include cache line size information of the first computing device by which a cache aligned RDMA write operation is executable on a cache of the first computing device in accordance with the cache line size information by the second computing device.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 30, 2017
    Date of Patent: November 27, 2018
    Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION
    Inventors: Randall T. Kunkel, Donald W. Schmidt, Jerry W. Stevens
