Everything about Remote direct memory access

Low-level hardware direct memory access

In computing, remote direct memory access (RDMA) is direct memory access from the memory of one computer into that of another without involving either computer's operating system. This permits high-throughput, low-latency memory access over a network, which is especially useful in massively parallel computer clusters. Wikipedia →
