Storage Interconnect Requirements Chen Zhao, Frank Yang NetApp, Inc.
Storage Interconnect Requirements Multi-destination RMA operation with reliable unconnected transport www.openfabrics.org 2
Storage Interconnect Requirements Multi-destination RMA operation One single IO operation targets multiple memory locations on multiple remote nodes Need reliable multi-destination support in the transport Take advantage of multi-destination capabilities of certain hardware Reliable unconnected transport Preferred transport model to support multi-destination RMA operation Fencing / in-order delivery support for traffic between the same set of end points www.openfabrics.org 3
Storage Interconnect Requirements Single sided RMA operation Sender creates multiple queues to access a shared memory exported by receiver Receiver only need to export memory for remote access No further connection management effort is needed at receiver above the fabric interface www.openfabrics.org 4
Storage Interconnect Requirements Transparent multi-path with in-order delivery Aggregate multiple port / link / NIC / HCA under a single end point for higher bandwidth Transparent path failover for higher resiliency In-order delivery / fence support over aggregated multi-path at end point level www.openfabrics.org 5
Storage Interconnect Requirements Delivery confirmation and memory write commit Options to ensure data commitment to destination memory upon completion Fast registration and invalidate stag operation Interface support of fast memory registration and send with invalidated stag Ordering support Options to configure in-order delivery and read / write fence Flow control Options to configure flow-control at end-point level www.openfabrics.org 6
Storage Interconnect Requirements Remote notification support in RMA operations In RDMA write / read operations, provide the option of generating a completion event at the remote end Asynchronous completion notification Notification / upcall infrastructure at interface level Support physically discontiguous memory buffer Application should not care about underlying physical contiguity of allocated memory 7 www.openfabrics.org
