Abstract:

This paper reports on I/O latency measurements made using an experimental network adapter based on Mitsubishi's M65433 \"DART\" chip. DART has achieved its design goal of very low application-to-application latency by mapping buffers and ring queues directly into virtual memory and thus avoiding all operating system latency.
