DESCRIPTION

14       VMA  Mellanox's Messaging Accelerator (VMA) boosts performance for mes‐
15       sage-based and streaming applications such as those found in  financial
16       services market data environments and Web2.0 clusters. It allows appli‐
17       cation written over standard socket API to run over Ethernet and/or In‐
18       finiband  from user-space with full network stack bypass. The result is
19       a reduction in latency by as much as 300%, an increase  in  application
20       throughput by as much as 200%, higher packets rates and better CPU uti‐
21       lization as compared to applications running on  standard  Ethernet  or
22       InfiniBand interconnect networks.
