<br>
Since you are working on libfabric, I figured you might be interested to know I wrote a libfabric provider for the A3Cube Ronniee (<a href="http://a3cube-inc.com/ronniee-express.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://a3cube-inc.com/ronniee-express.html</a>) in-memory network.<br>
<br>
The provider has been developed for my Master's thesis at University of Torino, in Italy, as part of a research collaboration of the university with A3Cube. The fabric implements an hardware-based distributed shared memory. Because of that, I easily implemented the RMA data transfer interface, since it is basically the native operational mode; the fi_msg interface is also available, using a remote memory region as a buffer. Atomics and tagged messages are not supported (yet). Code is available under LGPLv3 here:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://github.com/p91paul/libfabric-provider-dpa" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/p91paul/libfabric-provider-dpa</a><br>
<br>
The provider is named "dpa" after the DPALIB API offered by A3Cube for their products. I plan to add some documentation over the next week.<br>
<br>
