KSHIPRA is a scalable communication substrate over PARAMNet-3. Its a software environment that enables applications to communicate faster using RDMA. KSHIPRA allows the HPC, storage and enterprise applications to take advantage of PARAMNet-3's low latency, high bandwidth capability and drastically cuts down the CPU usage, by using DAPL transport mechanism. It also depicts PARAMNet-3 as a standard IP network. Thus all TCP/IP applications can be run without any modifications. MPI, SDP, IPoIB and iSER are included in the protocol set.
KSHIPRA, available as a bundled CD is a complete environment consisting of drivers, libraries, cluster management tools and documentation.
