Abstract
Methods and apparatus to provide peer-to-peer interrupt signaling between devices coupled via one or more interconnects are described. In one embodiment, a NIC (Network Interface Card such as a Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) capable NIC) transfers data directly into or out of the memory of a peer device that is coupled to the NIC via one or more interconnects, bypassing a host computing/processing unit and/or main system memory. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
