The InfiniBand™ Architecture (IBA) is an industry standard that defines
a new high-speed switched fabric subsystem designed to connect
processor nodes and I/O nodes to form a system area network. This
new interconnected method moves away from the local
transaction-based I/O model across buses to a remote
message-passing model across channels. The architecture is
independent of the host operating system (OS) and the processor
platform.
