Call for papers
 
Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) enables transfer of data across a network directly to and from application buffers without requiring any intermediate copies or buffers. RDMA, along with direct access to the networking hardware, also provides a low overhead mechanism for achieving low latency, high-bandwidth communication. RDMA has become a desirable feature in high-speed clusters and data-center networks. 
 
Scope
The RAIT 2006 workshop is the third time that the RAIT workshop has been held. RAIT 2006 is intended to serve as a forum to present the latest research work by the researchers and developers from both academia and industry. The workshop focuses on the applications of RDMA, the implementation aspects of RDMA, and the technologies for RDMA. Topics of special interest include advanced new features such as TCP offload engines embedded within RDMA, virtualization technologies for RDMA, and new techniques to extend RDMA functionality, such as atomics, multicast, and broadcast operations.   

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

*        RDMA hardware (RDMA-enabled Ethernet adapters, InfiniBand adapters, or other adapters)
*        RDMA-aware networks and interfaces
*        Middleware and network services for RDMA-based networking
*       Virtualization and RDMA
*       Applications of RDMA (iSCSI/iSER, NFS, DAFS, SDP, databases, clustering, storage networking, etc.)
*        RDMA Protocols
*        Protocol offload engines (TCP offload engines, RDMA offload engines, etc.) 
*       Operating system infrastructure for RDMA
*        RDMA performance evaluation (application performance, performance metrics, network performance, etc.)
*        RDMA and security
*        Future directions for RDMA
