EFADV(7)                 EFA Direct Verbs Manual                 EFADV(7)

NAME         top

       efadv - Direct verbs for efa devices

       This provides low level access to efa devices to perform direct
       operations, without general branching performed by libibverbs.

DESCRIPTION         top

       The libibverbs API is an abstract one.  It is agnostic to any
       underlying provider specific implementation.  While this
       abstraction has the advantage of user applications portability, it
       has a performance penalty.  For some applications optimizing
       performance is more important than portability.

       The efa direct verbs API is intended for such applications.  It
       exposes efa specific low level operations, allowing the
       application to bypass the libibverbs API.

       The direct include of efadv.h together with linkage to efa library
       will allow usage of this new interface.
