Remote Direct Memory Access - a technology that allows direct memory access between computers without involving the CPU.

RDMA enables high-throughput, low-latency networking by bypassing the traditional network stack. It's commonly used in HPC clusters and AI training systems via InfiniBand or RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet). RDMA dramatically reduces CPU overhead for network operations.
