≈ 180 hBadge: RDMA Fabric Engineer

Who it is for

HPC, AI-cluster, and storage-network engineers.

The sequence

  1. 1
    RDM-01 · RDMA Programming with Verbs Write verbs programs for two-sided, one-sided, and atomic operations, and tune them.
  2. 2
    RDM-02 · RoCEv2 and Converged Fabric Deployment Design, configure, and troubleshoot a lossless Ethernet fabric that carries RDMA alongside TCP/IP.
  3. 3
    RDM-03 · RDMA and MPI in High-Performance Computing Explain how MPI reaches the wire through OFI and UCX, and tune a real MPI job.
  4. 4
    RDM-04 · RDMA for Distributed Storage (Ceph) Find where a storage cluster loses time to TCP, enable RDMA in Ceph, and prove the gain with measurements.
  5. 5
    RDM-05 · GPUDirect and SR-IOV for HPC Move GPU data across the cluster without a CPU copy, and keep the path fast in a multi-tenant system.
  6. 6
    OFL-04 · SR-IOV: Principles and Practice Build an SR-IOV lab from scratch and run it in a VM, a container, and a cloud platform.
