I have never understood what these acronyms are. I've been involved
with HPC on the applications side for many years and hear these
terms pop up now and then. I've read through the wikipedia pages but

rdma: remote direct memory access, a way to move data from one node to
another. Supported by for example Infiniband.
ofed: a software distribution of network drivers, libraries, utilities
typically used by users/applications to run on Infiniband (and other
networks supported by ofed). In short: infiniband drivers
OFED = OpenFabrics Enterprise Distribution.
