OVERVIEW

9       libfabric  is  a  communication  library framework designed to meet the
10       performance and scalability requirements of high-performance  computing
11       (HPC)  applications.   libfabric  defines communication interfaces that
12       enable a tight semantic map between applications and underlying network
13       services.  Specifically, libfabric software interfaces have been co-de‐
14       signed with network hardware providers and application developers, with
15       a focus on the needs of HPC users.

17       This guide describes the libfabric architecture and interfaces.  Due to
18       the length of the guide, it has been broken into multiple pages.  These
19       sections are:

21       Introduction fi_intro(7)
22              This  section  provides insight into the motivation for the lib‐
23              fabric design and underlying networking features that are  being
24              exposed through the API.
25
26       Architecture fi_arch(7)
27              This  describes the exposed architecture of libfabric, including
28              the object-model and their related operations
29
30       Setup fi_setup(7)
31              This provides basic bootstrapping and setup for using  the  lib‐
32              fabric API.
