(Scalable) Fabric Interfaces

Q: What

is implied by incorporating interface sets under a single framework

?Objects exist that are usable between the interfacesIsolated interfaces turn the framework into a complex dlopenInterfaces are composableMay be used together

Verbs Compatibility

Verbs API and data structures supportable through a compatibility mode

Verbs objects may be converted to FI objects

ibv_qp  fid_ep, ibv_cq  fid_ec

FI objects do not necessarily convert to verbsProvide access to native FI objectsExpose fields through

ibverbs data structuresAllows use of FI APIsApplications migrate to FI to use new features

Migrating Apps

from Verbs to

FI

Expose ‘verbs’ interfaces directly from FIUse macros or static inline functions to convert ‘libibverbs’ exported calls to FI callsSame performance as using libibverbs directlyRedefine verb data structuresExpose native FI definitions

, ibv_srq, ibv_qp, ibv_cq,ibv_ah, ibv_comp_channelHide internal fields, reference FI objects

Compatibility

RDMA CM handled in a similar fashion

More challenging, not a single top-level entry point

Need to determine how to handle header filesAvoid conflicting with libibverbs and librdmacm headersCould require source change to use new headerwww.openfabrics.org
