Would be nice if people thought about implementing the Sockets API 
Extensions from the OpenGroup.  They provide explicit memory management and 
async communications which will allow SDP performance to be fully 
exploited.   The benefits go beyond what is found in AIO or on other OS 
such as Windows.  If one were to extend slightly to have explicit RDMA Read 
and Write from the Sockets API, then it would be quite possible to 
eliminate SDP entirely for new applications leaving SDP strictly for legacy 
Sockets environments.
