Abstract: A network adapter includes a network interface that communicates packets over a network, a host interface connected locally to a host processor and to a host memory, and processing circuitry, coupled between the network interface and the host interface, and is configured to receive in a common queue, via the host interface, (i) a processing work item specifying a source buffer in the host memory, a data processing operation, and a first address in the host memory, and (ii) an RDMA write work item specifying the first address, and a second address in a remote memory. In response to the processing work item, the processing circuitry reads data from the source buffer, applies the data processing operation, and stores the processed data in the first address. In response to the RDMA write work item the processing circuitry transmits the processed data, over the network, for storage in the second address.

Abstract: Technologies for payload direct memory storing (PDMS) for out-of-order delivery of packets in remote direct memory access (RDMA) are described. A responder device includes an RDMA transport layer that can receive packets out of order and allow direct data placement of packet data in order. The responder device receives a first packet with a first packet number and first location information. The responder device stores first packet data to a first location according to the first location information. The responder device also receives a second packet and stores second packet data to a second location according to the second location information. A second packet number indicates that the first packet is received out of order. The first and second packet data are stored in order. The responder device can provide an indication that a message has arrived in response to determining that all packets of the message have arrived.

Abstract: Technologies for spreading a single transport flow across multiple network paths in remote direct memory access (RDMA) over converged Ethernet (RoCE) and InfiniBand are described. A network interface controller receives a first packet and a second packet of a transport flow directed to a second node. The network interface controller assigns a first network routing identifier to the first packet and a second network routing identifier to the second packet, the first network routing identifier corresponding to a first network path between the first and second nodes, the second network routing identifier corresponding to a second network path between the first node and the second node. The network interface controller schedules a first packet of the transport flow to be sent via the first network path and a second packet of the transport flow to be sent via the second network path.

Abstract: A method for data transfer includes transmitting a sequence of data packets from a first computer over a network to a second computer in a single RDMA data transfer transaction. Upon receipt of a second packet in the sequence without previously having received the first packet, the second computer sends a NAK packet over the network to the first computer, indicating that the first packet was not received. A retransmission mode is selected responsively to the type of the transaction, such that when the transaction is of a first type, the first packet is retransmitted from the first computer to the second computer in response to the NAK packet without retransmitting the second packet, and when the transaction is of a second type, both the first and second packets are retransmitted from the first computer to the second computer in response to the NAK packet.
