rsockets will continue to be supported by myself and Intel going forward. The rsocket work originated from HPC related work done that I was doing with Xeon Phi, and targeted Intel MPI and OSU MPI as its initial application. The Xeon Phi processors are slower than the traditional Xeon cores; I believe I mentioned that this was a problem, since the socket API requires data copies in practice. So, extensions to the rsocket API is needed to support zero-copy data transfers. - Sean -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
