TCP/IP vs. InfiniBand

RDMA benefits:•Hardware data fragmentation•Hardware data reassembly•No user/kernel data copies•2.5x Performance Increase•5 memory operations become 2•Oracle, DB2, SQL run VI today•VI bypasses the kernel stack•7000/50 instruction advantage

InfiniBand standardizes the adapter architecture and the OS interface to the adapter as well as the format of data on the wire
