InfiniBand host channel adapters (HCAs) and iWARP NICs commonly support direct hardware access from userspace (kernel bypass), and libibverbs supports this when available. . This package is needed to compile programs against libibverbs1. It contains the header files and static libraries (optionally) needed for compiling. Homepage: http://www.openfabrics.org/
