In most datacenter systems it is only the NIC that initiates the P2P transfers, so it should not be surprising that NIC HW has more optimizations for this. In real systems ATS carries such a perf cost that you do need to be selective about it. I would expect every serious NIC to have this capability or it will not be perf competitive. NIC and GPU are using ATS for completely different reasons. > Additional to that the setup that ACS seems to be disabled for some > bridges bit not all also sounds extremely uncommon. I'm not sure where you saw ACS disabled, you can look rdma-core now has a tool to help people get their RDMA NICs working in GPU systems: https://github.com/linux-rdma/rdma-core/blob/master/kernel-boot/rdma_topo I would view most of that stuff as completely normal at this point, people have been doing versions of this by hand for almost 10 years now. Especially the asymmetric translated/untranslated routing. Jason
