libmlx4 is a device-specific driver for Mellanox ConnectX InfiniBand
host channel adapters (HCAs) for the libibverbs library. This allows
userspace processes to access Mellanox HCA hardware directly with
low latency and low overhead.
.
This package contains static versions of libmlx4 that may be linked
directly to an application, which may be useful for debugging.
