Information about the package, ibacm, which is shipped with common Linux distributions. The ibacm package is designed for, InfiniBand Communication Manager Assistant.
Package Name:
ibacm
Summary:
InfiniBand Communication Manager Assistant
Description:
The ib_acm daemon helps reduce the load of managing path record lookups on large InfiniBand fabrics by providing a user space implementation of what is functionally similar to an ARP cache. The use of ib_acm, when properly configured, can reduce the SA packet load of a large IB cluster from O(n^2) to O(n). The ib_acm daemon is started and normally runs in the background, user applications need not know about this daemon as long as their app uses librdmacm to handle connection bring up/tear down. The librdmacm library knows how to talk directly to the ib_acm daemon to retrieve data.
