The openfabrics (ofed) software stack is designed to support server and storage clustering and grid connectivity using remote direct memory access (rdma)-based infiniband and internet wide area rdma protocol (iwarp) fabrics.

the open-source software is optimized for performance (i.e., high throughput, low latency) using rdma and transport-offload technologies available in adapter hardware. ofed provides a set of kernel drivers, userspace libraries and applications which are known to work together.

this package contains documentation for the software.
