SYSTEMS, METHODS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR AUTOMATICALLY TRIGGERING OPERATIONS ON A QUEUE PAIR

Systems, methods and computer program products for automatically triggering operations on a queue pair (QP). Methods include receiving a command at a remote direct memory access (RDMA) capable adapter. A trigger event element associated with the command is determined. The trigger event element is posted on a triggered QP. A triggeror element on a triggeror QP is posted, where the triggeror QP includes a reference to the triggered QP. A notification that the triggeror element has completed is received. The trigger event element is automatically initiated in response to receiving the notification.
