1 Commits • 1 Features
Dec 1, 2025Month: 2025-12 — Delivered a new multi-rail routing policy feature for the Linux provider in libfabric. Introduced two routing policies (PER_MSG and PER_PEER) to improve message delivery order and endpoint utilization, with environment-driven configuration and a safe default. This work enhances throughput and resource utilization while maintaining correct send semantics. No major bugs fixed this month. Impact: higher performance and better scalability for multi-endpoint deployments; improved predictability of message routing across local endpoints and peers.
