Course Duration 4 Hours
Remote Direct Memory Access, RDMA, enables server-to-server data movement directly between application memory without any CPU involvement. RDMA technology empowers advanced enterprise data centers and the world’s fastest supercomputers (HPC).
RDMA allows real CPU offloads and kernel bypass, and, as such, RDMA-based applications provide better utilization of network HW resources while increasing speed and lowering link latencies.
NVIDIA leads the interconnect industry with RDMA supported hardware and has paved the way for RDMA programming. It has gained unique and extensive experience by accompanying the world’s leading HPC, storage, finance and cloud companies in RDMA application development projects.
This course provides application developers with the required knowledge and skills to start programming RDMA applications that run seamlessly over Ethernet (RoCE) and InfiniBand networks.
This online course offers an innovative training experience, with short and focused videos, interactive quizzes and hands-on exercises needed to acquire the technical skills for programming RDMA-based applications.
This course allows C programmers to dive into the RDMA programming world without requiring previous experience in networking or RDMA programming.
We have also added NVIDIA specialist tips and tricks, as well as do’s and don’ts so that the skills you acquire will truly serve you when you need them
