Abstract
Exemplary embodiments include RDMA methods and systems for sending application data to a computer memory destination in a direct but non-blocking fashion. The method can include posting a new work request for an RDMA connection or association, determining if there is a prior work request for the same connection or association enqueued for processing, in response to a determination that no prior work request is enqueued for processing, processing the new work request directly by sending RDMA frames containing application data referred to by the work request to the computer memory destination, performing direct sending while there is sufficient send space to process the new work request, and delegating the new work request to asynchronous transmission if a prior work request is already enqueued for processing or lack of send space would block a subsequent transmission operation.
