* Package name : qperf Version : 0.4.9 Upstream Author : Johann George <joh...@georgex.org> * URL : http://www.openfabrics.org * License : GPL, BSD Programming Lang: C Description : Measure socket and RDMA performance qperf measures bandwidth and latency between two nodes. It can work over TCP/IP as well as the RDMA transports. - qperf is a widely-used tool for testing performance of RDMA stacks and fabrics. - While there is some overlap with iperf3 in the area of TCP performanced testing, iperf3 cannot directly test an RDMA trasport. qperf allows direct testing of UD and RC RDMA. - qperf will be maintained as part of my employer's ongoing project of supporting RDMA functionality on Debian. - I do not yet have Debian maintainer status, and will require a sponsor. - qperf will be included in the software packages maintained by pkg-ofed. - I use qperf on a regular basis to test functionality and performance of RDMA fabrics with the amd64 architecture.
