Thanks, it is too close to the Wikipedia description that can be written slightly differently (without "two computers"), what about the following description from Mellanox site? "is a tool for querying and setting the configuration for RDMA-capable devices. Remote direct memory access (RDMA) is the ability of accessing (read, write) memory on a remote machine without interrupting the processing of the CPU(s) on that system."
