Abstract :
This paper describes a performance study conducted with the new 10 Gb Ethernet iWARP RDMA-enabled adapter from NetEffect, using Microsoft Winsock Direct Server Area Network technology. The paper starts with a brief summary of the Winsock Direct software architecture and the NetEffect hardware architecture. It provides initial performance results for bandwidth, CPU utilization, and latency. It analyzes the performance results, and concludes with some discussion on future work that can lead to further performance improvements
