DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:ABSTRACT: Providing high-speed data transfer is vital to various data-intensive=0Aapplications. While there have been remarkable technology advances to=0Aprovide ultra-high-speed network bandwidth, existing protocols and=0Aapplications may not be able to fully utilize the bare-metal bandwidth=0Adue to their inefficient design.  We identify the same problem remains=0Ain the field of Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) networks. RDMA=0Aoffloads TCP/IP protocols to hardware devices.  However, its benefits=0Ahave not been fully exploited due to the lack of efficient software=0Aand application protocols, in particular in wide-area networks. In=0Athis paper, we address the design choices to develop such=0Aprotocols. We describe a protocol implemented as part of a=0Acommunication middleware.  The protocol has its flow control,=0Aconnection management, and task synchronization. It maximizes the=0Aparallelism of RDMA operations.  We demonstrate its performance=0Abenefit on various local and wide-area testbeds, including the DOE ANI=0Atestbed with RoCE links and InfiniBand links.
