Multipath RDMA Instrumentation

Abstract

Multipath remote direct memory access (RDMA) is a new networking technology that provides an order-of-magnitude increase in bandwidth through a full-mesh backplane and through a standard Ethernet switch fabric. This article first describes full-mesh backplane technology, RDMA access over internet protocol, and Multipath RDMA, then introduces two novel Multipath RDMA instrumentation systems: an instrumentation module and in instrumentation blade. The instrumentation module supports Giga-sample per second (GSPS) instrumentation and operates at the end of the wire using Power-over-Ethernet Plus. The instrumentation blade goes directly into a Multipath RDMA-enabled blade chassis, supports multi-GSPS instrumentation, and gives rise to real-time or near-real-time parallel processing of data produced by multi-GSPS instrumentation.
