NAME

       efadv - Direct verbs for efa devices

       This  provides  low  level  access  to  efa  devices to perform direct operations, without
       general branching performed by libibverbs.

DESCRIPTION

       The libibverbs API is an abstract one.  It is agnostic to any underlying provider specific
       implementation.    While   this   abstraction  has  the  advantage  of  user  applications
       portability, it has a performance penalty.  For some applications  optimizing  performance
       is more important than portability.

       The  efa  direct verbs API is intended for such applications.  It exposes efa specific low
       level operations, allowing the application to bypass the libibverbs API.

       The direct include of efadv.h together with linkage to efa library  will  allow  usage  of
       this new interface.
