Abstract: The subject matter described herein includes methods, systems, and computer readable media for improving remote direct memory access (RDMA) performance. A method for improving RDMA performance occurs at an RDMA node utilizing a user space and a kernel space for executing software. The method includes posting, by an application executing in the user space, an RDMA work request including a data element indicating a plurality of RDMA requests associated with the RDMA work request to be generated by software executing in the kernel space; and generating and sending, by the software executing in the kernel space, the plurality of RDMA requests to or via a system under test (SUT).
