ibacm - InfiniBand Communication Manager Assistant

Website: http://www.openfabrics.org/
License: GPLv2 or BSD
Vendor: Scientific Linux CERN, http://cern.ch/linux
Description:
The ib_acm daemon helps reduce the load of managing path record lookups on
large InfiniBand fabrics by providing a user space implementation of what
is functionally similar to an ARP cache.  The use of ib_acm, when properly
configured, can reduce the SA packet load of a large IB cluster from O(n^2)
to O(n).  The ib_acm daemon is started and normally runs in the background,
user applications need not know about this daemon as long as their app
uses librdmacm to handle connection bring up/tear down.  The librdmacm
library knows how to talk directly to the ib_acm daemon to retrieve data.

ibacm-1.0.5-3.el6.i686 [49 KiB] Changelog by Doug Ledford (2012-04-05):
- Until the next upstream release, the pid file is in a wonky location.
  Make the init script know about that location so we can stop properly.
- Resolves: bz808599
