7.4.6.1 ib_write_lat Synopsys
7.4.6.2 ib_write_lat Options
The table below lists the various flags of the command.
7.4.7 ibv_read_bw
This is a more advanced version of ib_read_bw and contains more flags and featurs than the
older version and also improved algorithms. ibv_read_bw Calculats the BW of RDMA read
between a pair of machines. One acts as a server, and the other as a client. The client RDMA
reads the server memory and calculate the BW by sampling the CPU each time it receive a suc-
cessfull completion. The test supports a large variety of features as described below, and has
better performance than ib_send_bw in Nahelem systems. Read is availible only in RC connec-
tion mode (as specified in the InfiniBand spec).
