ref improve date December 2011 The Virtual Interface Architecture VIA is an abstract model of a user level zero copy computer network network , and is the basis for InfiniBand , iWARP and RDMA over Converged Ethernet RoCE . Created by Microsoft , Intel , and Compaq , the original VIA sought to standardize the interface for high performance network technologies known as System Area Networks SANs not to be confused with Storage Area Network s . Networks are a shared resource. With traditional network APIs such as the Berkeley sockets Berkeley socket API , the kernel computer science kernel is involved in every network communication. This presents a tremendous performance bottleneck when lag latency is an issue. One of the classic developments in computing systems is virtual memory , a combination of hardware and software that creates the illusion of private memory for each process. In the same school of thought, a virtual network interface protected across process boundaries could be accessed at the user level. With this technology, the consumer manages its own buffers and communication schedule while the provider handles the protection. Thus, the network interface card NIC provides a private network for a process, and a process is usually allowed to have multiple such networks. The virtual interface VI of VIA refers to this network and is merely the destination of the user s communication requests. Communication takes place over a pair of VIs, one on each of the processing nodes involved in the transmission. In kernel bypass communication, the user manages its own buffers. Another facet of traditional networks is that arriving data is placed in a pre allocated buffer and then copied to the user specified final destination. Copying large messages can take a long time, and so ... node3.html Usenix notes on VIA http www.intel.com intelpress chapter via.pdf The Virtual Interface Architecture , a book from Intel Category Supercomputers Category Computer networks ... more details

The VA Kernel is a set of programs, developed by the Department of Veterans Affairs of the United States Government, which provide an operating system and MUMPS implementation independent abstraction to the VistA Hospital Information System. These programs called routines in MUMPS are the only programs which are expected to not be written in ANSI Standard MUMPS. The MUMPS language used in the kernel is amazingly simple, consisting of a single language MUMPS , a single data type string , a single data storage mechanism global arrays stored on disk , 19 commands and 22 functions. MUMPS is a symbolic language with linguistic roots closer to LISP than Fortran or Cobol . Because of this simple software layer, the VistA software architecture has been able to adapt to changing hardware environments over the decades with only the minimum amount of software changes at higher levels of abstraction. The CHCS system and the RPMS system have a Kernel as well, which provides a similar degree of support to those systems as the VA Kernel does to VistA . The VA Kernel provides abstractions for Menu Management MenuMan Electronic mail, group conferencing, transaction processing MailMan Login and Access Security Task scheduling and Batch processing Input Output devices Protocol and Event processing Date processing and manipulation Mathematical and common library functions References http blip.tv file 405389 Video Interview of Tom Munnecke on the design of the kernel Category Free software operating systems ... more details
