Performance profiling and design choices of an RDMA implementation using FPGA devices

Abstract

RDMA communication is an efficient choice for many applications, such as data acquisition systems, data center networking and any other networking application, where high bandwidth and low latency are necessary. RDMA can be implemented using a large array of options, which need to be tailored to the needed use case, in order to get optimal results. Aspects such as the effects of using multiple simultaneous connections, using various transport functions such as RDMA Write and RDMA Send and communication models such as sending individual bursts or continuous streams of data will be investigated for implementing RDMA on FPGA devices.
