NAME

6       efadv - Direct verbs for efa devices
7
8       This  provides low level access to efa devices to perform direct opera‐
9       tions, without general branching performed by libibverbs.
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The libibverbs API is an abstract one.  It is agnostic to any  underly‐
13       ing  provider  specific implementation.  While this abstraction has the
14       advantage of user applications portability, it has a performance penal‐
15       ty.   For  some  applications  optimizing performance is more important
16       than portability.
17
18       The efa direct verbs API is intended for such applications.  It exposes
19       efa  specific  low level operations, allowing the application to bypass
20       the libibverbs API.
21
22       The direct include of efadv.h together with linkage to efa library will
23       allow usage of this new interface.
