openpgm, openib are some but but I am looking for one that is a few 
levels higher or abstracted. I am looking for around 3 or 4 calls to 
send a message, something like connection, disconnect send and receive.

This would just be a higher level of abstraction... For example code to 
send 1 msg would look like Connect, Send and Disconnect...

 openpgm, openib are some but but I am looking for one that is a few 
 levels higher or abstracted. I am looking for around 3 or 4 calls to 
 send a message, something like connection, disconnect send and receive.

PGM is transport level, isn't it?
So a few levels higher would be the Application layer in the OSI model ...
Are you looking for something that works with e.g. SQL queries?

From your email i understand that using BSD sockets over IB ULPs
such as IPoIB UD, IPoIB CM or SDP is not enough for the performance
enhancemt you want to get with IB.

Can you share what are you hunting for, ie which from the following measures:
BW / LAT / PPS / CPU %% and for which msg size huge/big/med/small

Or.
