Abstract
A method for communication includes receiving in a network interface controller (NIC) from a host processor, which has a local host memory and is connected to the NIC by a local bus, a remote direct memory access (RDMA) compress-and-write command, specifying a source memory buffer in the local host memory and a target memory address. In response to the command, data are read from the specified buffer into the NIC, compressed in the NIC, and conveyed from the NIC to the target memory address.
