Overview
Mission
To develope and promote software that enables maximum application efficiency by delivering wire-speed messaging, ultra-low latencies and maximum bandwidth directly to applications with minimal cpu overhead.
What it reported doing in 2025
Prior accomplishments include the introduction of the rdma subsystem to the linux kernel, creation of the rdma-core and libibverbs upstream ecosystems, creation of the libfabric upstream community, and hosting of the annual developer workshop. Future accomplishments are focused on easing the management pain of disparate high speed networks by creating a management framework standard for dealing with disparate network fabrics, and in the post-covid-era, we have replaced the in-person industry event with a series of webinars on topics of interest to the larger rdma community.
