EFADV(7) EFA Direct Verbs Manual EFADV(7)
NAME
efadv - Direct verbs for efa devices
This provides low level access to efa devices to perform direct opera-
tions, without general branching performed by libibverbs.
DESCRIPTION
The libibverbs API is an abstract one. It is agnostic to any underly-
ing provider specific implementation. While this abstraction has the
advantage of user applications portability, it has a performance penal-
ty. For some applications optimizing performance is more important
than portability.
The efa direct verbs API is intended for such applications. It exposes
efa specific low level operations, allowing the application to bypass
the libibverbs API.
The direct include of efadv.h together with linkage to efa library will
allow usage of this new interface.
