The document provides an overview of a presentation on developing the OpenFabrics Interfaces libfabric. It discusses design guidelines for libfabric, including optimizing the software path to hardware, being scalable, implementation agnostic, and open source. It then covers libfabric architecture, including modes, capabilities, object model, endpoint types, address vectors, data transfer types, and API bootstrap. It provides examples of how Gasnet usage maps libfabric objects and initialization, address exchange, and using multi-receive buffers. The presentation aims to provide a lightning fast introduction to libfabric version 1.5.
