Accepted Talks:
State of RDMA in Debian
RDMA, Remote DMA, allows remote systems to read and write directly from local memory. This is typically used by high-performance network interfaces, such as data centers and clusters. RDMA gives you high bandwidth and low latency. It typically requires support from the network interfaces, as well as potentially adapting the applications.
This talk is a short HOWTO on using RDMA with Debian to make their high-performance network run faster. We will demonstrate how to test RDMA support without any specialized hardware (using soft-RoCE), and how to use it with existing applications (with libvma).Then finally, we will review the state of RDMA in buster and what is still missing, both in the kernel and user-space tools.
DebConf20 BoF
We have the fine tradition of having DebConf N share their experiences with DebConf N+1. The DebConf committee will also be present and we invite a core member of every team to come around and help with the knowledge transfer.
The session will begin with a DebConf20 presentation.
