General Information ====================== KIRO is the KITs InfiniBand remote communication library. It provides a simple server and client class that can be used to pass arbitrary information from the server to the client using _native_ InfiniBand communication. It also provides a network transmittable ring-buffer (TRB) which can be used as a transmission container for same-sized objects. The library is optimized for speed and ease of use. Installation ===================== Please refer to the INSTALL file of this project. Usage ==================== Example KIRO server usage ``` #include ... int memSize = 42; void *mem = malloc(memSize); //This is the memory we want to provide KiroServer *server = kiro_server_new (); const char *address = "192.168.1.1"; const char *port = "60010"; kiro_server_start (server, address, port, mem, memSize); // The KIRO server is now running ... kiro_server_stop (server); kiro_server_free (server); ... ``` Example KIRO client usage ``` #include ... KiroClient *client = kiro_client_new (); const char *address = "192.168.1.1"; const char *port = "60010"; kiro_client_connect (client, address, port); //The client is now connected kiro_client_sync (client); void *mem = kiro_client_get_memory (client); kiro_client_free (client); ``` For TRB usage, check the examples in the _test_ directory Licensing ===================== kiro is copyright to the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and licensed under the LGPL 2.1.
