| |
The OpenGroup InterConnect Software Consortium has started a working group to propose extensions to the current Unix socket API and is seeking help from the open source community.
These extensions (ideas floating around are, but not limited to: asynchronous paradigm to enable zero copy, I/O completion ports, advance buffer registration to allow pinning and I/O preparation, ...) would enable new networking technologies (Infiniband, RDMA, ...) and would allow Unix to regain the lead over Winsock in terms of functionality and performance.
The OpenGroup is trying to figure out how to include the open source community in these activities. It is actively seeking the people who are the Linux, FreeBSD, ..., thought leaders and implementors for networking and sockets, and bring them into the working group.
Interested people should contact the working group co-chairs for details about how to join the effort: David Edmondson (david.edmondson@sun.co) or Satya Sharma (ssharma@us.ibm.com)
The URL of the OpenGroup Interconnect Software Consortium is: http://www.opengroup.org/icsc/
Thanks for volunteering.
