Abstract :
The goal of DART is to effectively deliver high-bandwidth performance to the application, without a change to the operating system call semantics. In looking forward to gigabit-class networks as the next hurdle to conquer, we foresaw a need for an integrated hardware-software project that addressed fundamental memory bandwidth bottleneck issues through a system-level perspective
