Abstract: A communication system includes a plurality of computing machines connected to an optical network, in which the optical network includes a main signal communication path and a control communication path. Each of the computing machines and includes an RDMA communication unit that performs transmission of setting information for setting the main signal communication path to a computing machine of an access destination via the control communication path; and a main signal transmitting/receiving unit that establishes the main signal communication path based on the setting information. The RDMA communication unit gives an instruction for setting of the RDMA communication path in parallel with the transmission of the setting information. The computing machine further includes an RDMA control unit that secures a memory area for RDMA communication and transmits setting information including the memory area to the computing machine of the access destination.

Abstract: A local terminal transmits to a processing device an RDMA transmission packet in which processing data to be transferred to a memory of an accelerator of each of a first remote terminal and a second remote terminal is set. The processing device acquires a QPN from the first remote terminal, converts a Destination QP of a BTH of the RDMA transmission packet into the QPN acquired from the first remote terminal, and transmits a converted RDMA transmission packet to the first remote terminal. When a connection is established, the processing device acquires a QPN from the second remote terminal, converts the Destination QP of the BTH of the RDMA transmission packet into the QPN acquired from the second remote terminal, and transmits a converted RDMA transmission packet to the second remote terminal. Each of the first and second remote terminal transfers the processing data to the memory of the accelerator.

Abstract: An intermediate device 10A is the intermediate device 10A disposed between a requester 30 for transferring data using RDMA and a responder 50. The intermediate device 10A extracts a combination of a QPN of the requester 30 and the QPN of the responder 50 from a packet transmitted and received when establishing the connection, and registers the combination in a QPN table 15. The intermediate device 10A manages an MSN by a WQ table 17, and transitions the MSN number when receiving a request with a flag of Last or Only from the requester 30, and returns a pseudo-Response including the MSN after the transition.

Abstract: An intermediate device 10A includes a transfer unit 11 that transfers a request including data to be transmitted from a local 30 to a remote 50, and a generation unit 12 that generates a pseudo-response to the request and returns the pseudo-response to the local 30. The intermediate device 10B includes a discard unit 13 that discards a response to the request from the remote 50. An intermediate device 20B includes a generation unit 22 that generates a pseudo-request based on an initial request for requesting data transmission from the local 30 to the remote 50 and transmits the pseudo-request to the remote 50, and a transfer unit 24 that transfers a response including data to be transmitted from the remote 50 to the local 30. The intermediate device 20A includes the discard unit 21 that discards a subsequent request from the local 30.
