## Long description

iWARP/RDMA provides low-latency, converged fabric services for data centers by enabling Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) over Ethernet. Core components that reduce latency include Kernel Bypass, Direct Data Placement, and Transport Acceleration. Intel® Data Direct I/O Technology (Intel DDIO) further improves I/O efficiency by allowing server adapters and controllers to access processor cache directly, reducing latency, increasing I/O bandwidth, and lowering power use. The adapter supports PCI-SIG SR-IOV for native sharing of a single I/O resource across multiple virtual machines, and Flexible Port Partitioning (FPP) to divide a physical Ethernet port into multiple virtual devices with fair bandwidth allocation. Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq) offload VMM switching tasks to the network hardware to reduce overhead and improve throughput and system performance.
Advantages
Delivers RDMA over Ethernet to minimize data-access latency and CPU overhead. Direct processor-cache I/O via Intel DDIO increases effective I/O throughput and energy efficiency. Hardware virtualization features—SR-IOV, FPP, and VMDq—enable efficient resource sharing, predictable Quality of Service, and reduced virtual machine I/O overhead.
Key specifications
Protocol: iWARP / RDMA over Ethernet
Latency-reduction features: Kernel Bypass, Direct Data Placement, Transport Acceleration
Platform technology: Intel® Data Direct I/O Technology (DDIO)
Virtualization: PCI-SIG SR-IOV capable
Port partitioning: Flexible Port Partitioning (FPP) using SR-IOV
VM I/O offload: Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq)
How to use
Deploy the adapter in a server equipped with compatible Ethernet infrastructure and enable iWARP/RDMA in the OS and driver stack to take advantage of low-latency data paths. Ensure Intel DDIO is supported and enabled on the platform BIOS/firmware to permit direct cache I/O. Configure SR-IOV and FPP in the host hypervisor to create virtual functions and allocate bandwidth per virtual machine. Enable VMDq where supported to offload VMM switching and improve throughput.
Recommendations
Verify OS, hypervisor and firmware support for iWARP/RDMA, Intel DDIO, SR-IOV, FPP and VMDq before deployment. Use vendor-provided drivers and follow platform tuning guidance to achieve optimal latency, throughput and QoS.
