Abstract:
In an embodiment, a method is provided. In an embodiment, the method provides determining that a message has been placed in a send buffer; and transferring the message to an application on a second virtual machine by bypassing use of an operating system to process the message by directly placing the message in an application memory space from which the application can retrieve the message.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatus, and software for implementing RMA application programming interfaces (APIs) over Active Message (AM). AM write and AM read requests are sent from a local node to a remote node to write data to or read data from memory on the remote node using Remote Memory Access (RMA) techniques. The AM requests are handled by corresponding AM handlers, which automatically perform operations associated with the requests. For example, for AM write requests an AM write request handler may write data contained in an AM write request to a remote address space in memory on the remote node, or generate a corresponding RMA write request that is enqueued into an RMA queue used in accordance with a tagged message scheme. Similar operations are performed by AM read requests handlers. RMA reads and writes using AM are further facilitated through use of associated read, write, and RMA progress modules.

Abstract:
In an embodiment, a method is provided. In an embodiment, the method includes implementing a virtual remote direct memory access (RDMA) component in a virtualization layer on the computer system, the virtual RDMA component having an interface implementing RDMA semantics. An RDMA send request from a send queue associated with a first application running on the first VM is read using the virtual RDMA component, the RDMA send request referencing a send buffer in an application memory space for the first application. The virtual RDMA component then copies or transfers a message in the send buffer to a receive buffer in the second VM. A host computing system configured to implement the method and instructions configured to be executed on a host computing system is also provided.
