Methods, systems and computer readable media for improving remote direct memory access performance

A system for improving remote direct memory access (RDMA) performance, the system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a remote direct memory access (RDMA) node implemented using the at least one processor, the RDMA node utilizing a user space and a kernel space for executing software, wherein the RDMA node is configured for:
• posting, by an application executing in the user space, an RDMA work request including a data element indicating a plurality of RDMA requests associated with the RDMA work request to be generated by software executing in the kernel space;
• and
• in response to the RDMA work request, generating and sending, by the software executing in the kernel space, the plurality of RDMA requests to or via a system under test (SUT), wherein the RDMA requests are identical.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon executable instructions that when executed by at least one processor of at least one computer cause the at least one computer to perform steps comprising:

• at a remote direct memory access (RDMA) node utilizing a user space and a kernel space for executing software:
• posting, by an application executing in the user space, an RDMA work request including a data element indicating a plurality of RDMA requests associated with the RDMA work request to be generated by software executing in the kernel space;
• and
• in response to the RDMA work request, generating and sending, by the software executing in the kernel space, the plurality of RDMA requests to or via a system under test (SUT), wherein the RDMA requests are identical.
