7.4.1.1 ib_read_bw Synopsys
7.4.1.2 ib_read_bw Options
The table below lists the various flags of the command.
7.4.2 ib_read_lat
ib_read_lat calculats the latency of RDMA read operation of message_sizeB between a pair of
machines. One acts as a server and the other as a client. They perform a ping pong benchmark on
which one side RDMA reads the memory of the other side only after the other side have read his
memory. Each of the sides samples the CPU clock each time they read the other side memory , in
order to calculate latency. Read is availible only in RC connection mode (as specified in IB spec).
