RDMA
Remote direct memory access is a direct memory access from the memory of one

RoCE

SCM
Storage class memory, a synonym for persistent memory.
SSD
Solid-state disk drive is a high-performance storage device built using non-volatile

TDP
A thermal design point specifies the amount of power that the CPU can consume and
therefore the amount of heat that the platform must be able to remove in order to
avoid thermal throttling conditions.
UMA
Uniform memory access, a platform where the timne to access memory is (roughly)
the same, regardless of which processor is doing the access. On Intel patforms, this
is achieved by interleaving the memory across sockets.
