RDMA can be used to implement a shared storage abstraction for distributed applications. We argue that for loosely coupled applications, such an approach is overkill. For such applications, we propose RaMP, a much lighter weight alternative. RaMP uses RDMA only to support occasional coordination operations. We use a load balancing example to show that RaMP can effectively support such applications.
