S3 over RDMA

S3 over RDMA – S3 over RDMA provides performance – low-latency, high-throughput – capabilities required to keep a GPU compute layer fully utilized while reducing storage server CPU utilization and latency-lengthening data copy into that server’s DRAM. This is equivalent CPU-bypass functionality to that used by Nvidia’s GPUDirect file-access protocol. It means object storage can now, in principle, feed data to GPU servers on the same terms as GPUDirect-supporting file systems, such as products from DDN, IBM (StorageScale), NetApp, Pure Storage, VAST Data, WEKA, and others.
