Abstract:
In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a multi-socket motherboard, a processor connected to a first socket on the multi-socket motherboard, and an RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) interface module connected to a second socket on the multi-socket motherboard and in communication with the processor over a coherency interface. The RDMA interface module provides an inter-server interface between servers in an RDMA domain. A method for transferring data between servers with RDMA interface modules is also disclosed herein.
