+The Symmetric Communication Interface (SCIF (pronounced as skiff)) is a low
+level communications API across PCIe currently implemented for MIC. Currently
+SCIF provides inter-node communication within a single host platform, where a
+node is a MIC Coprocessor or Xeon based host. SCIF abstracts the details of
+communicating over the PCIe bus while providing an API that is symmetric
+across all the nodes in the PCIe network. An important design objective for SCIF
+is to deliver the maximum possible performance given the communication
+abilities of the hardware. SCIF has been used to implement an offload compiler
+runtime and OFED support for MPI implementations for MIC coprocessors.
+
+==== SCIF API Components ====
+The SCIF API has the following parts:
+1. Connection establishment using a client server model
+2. Byte stream messaging intended for short messages
+3. Node enumeration to determine online nodes
+4. Poll semantics for detection of incoming connections and messages
+5. Memory registration to pin down pages
+6. Remote memory mapping for low latency CPU accesses via mmap
+7. Remote DMA (RDMA) for high bandwidth DMA transfers
+8. Fence APIs for RDMA synchronization
+
+SCIF exposes the notion of a connection which can be used by peer processes on
+nodes in a SCIF PCIe "network" to share memory "windows" and to communicate. A
+process in a SCIF node initiates a SCIF connection to a peer process on a
+different node via a SCIF "endpoint". SCIF endpoints support messaging APIs
+which are similar to connection oriented socket APIs. Connected SCIF endpoints
+can also register local memory which is followed by data transfer using either
+DMA, CPU copies or remote memory mapping via mmap. SCIF supports both user and
+kernel mode clients which are functionally equivalent.
+
+==== SCIF Performance for MIC ====
+DMA bandwidth comparison between the TCP (over ethernet over PCIe) stack versus
+SCIF shows the performance advantages of SCIF for HPC applications and runtimes.

+ Transfer Size (KBytes)
+
+SCIF allows memory sharing via mmap(..) between processes on different PCIe
+nodes and thus provides bare-metal PCIe latency. The round trip SCIF mmap
+latency from the host to an x100 MIC for an 8 byte message is 0.44 usecs.
+
+SCIF has a user space library which is a thin IOCTL wrapper providing a user
+space API similar to the kernel API in scif.h. The SCIF user space library
+is distributed @ https://software.intel.com/en-us/mic-developer
+
+Here is some pseudo code for an example of how two applications on two PCIe
+nodes would typically use the SCIF API:

+ *
+ * The scif_register() function opens a window, a range of whole pages of the
+ * registered address space of the endpoint epd, starting at offset po and
+ * continuing for len bytes. The value of po, further described below, is a
+ * function of the parameters offset and len, and the value of map_flags. Each
+ * page of the window represents the physical memory page which backs the
+ * corresponding page of the range of virtual address pages starting at addr
+ * and continuing for len bytes. addr and len are constrained to be multiples
+ * of the page size. A successful scif_register() call returns po.
+ *
+ * When SCIF_MAP_FIXED is set in the map_flags argument, po will be offset
+ * exactly, and offset is constrained to be a multiple of the page size. The
+ * mapping established by scif_register() will not replace any existing
+ * registration; an error is returned if any page within the range [offset,
+ * offset + len - 1] intersects an existing window.
+ *
+ * When SCIF_MAP_FIXED is not set, the implementation uses offset in an
+ * implementation-defined manner to arrive at po. The po value so chosen will
+ * be an area of the registered address space that the implementation deems
+ * suitable for a mapping of len bytes. An offset value of 0 is interpreted as
+ * granting the implementation complete freedom in selecting po, subject to
+ * constraints described below. A non-zero value of offset is taken to be a
+ * suggestion of an offset near which the mapping should be placed. When the
+ * implementation selects a value for po, it does not replace any extant
+ * window. In all cases, po will be a multiple of the page size.
+ *
+ * The physical pages which are so represented by a window are available for
+ * access in calls to mmap(), scif_readfrom(), scif_writeto(),
+ * scif_vreadfrom(), and scif_vwriteto(). While a window is registered, the
+ * physical pages represented by the window will not be reused by the memory
+ * subsystem for any other purpose. Note that the same physical page may be
+ * represented by multiple windows.
+ *
+ * Subsequent operations which change the memory pages to which virtual
+ * addresses are mapped (such as mmap(), munmap()) have no effect on
+ * existing window.
+ *
+ * If the process will fork(), it is recommended that the registered
+ * virtual address range be marked with MADV_DONTFORK. Doing so will prevent
+ * problems due to copy-on-write semantics.
+ *
+ * The prot_flags argument is formed by OR'ing together one or more of the
+ * following values.
+ * SCIF_PROT_READ - allow read operations from the window
+ * SCIF_PROT_WRITE - allow write operations to the window
+ *
+ * The map_flags argument can be set to SCIF_MAP_FIXED which interprets a
+ * fixed offset.
+ *

+ * Upon successful completion, scif_register() returns the offset at which the

+ * scif_get_node_ids() - Return information about online nodes
+ * @nodes: array in which to return online node IDs
+ * @len: number of entries in the nodes array
+ * @self: address to place the node ID of the local node
+ *
+ * scif_get_node_ids() fills in the nodes array with up to len node IDs of the
+ * nodes in the SCIF network. If there is not enough space in nodes, as
+ * indicated by the len parameter, only len node IDs are returned in nodes. The
+ * return value of scif_get_node_ids() is the total number of nodes currently in
+ * the SCIF network. By checking the return value against the len parameter,
+ * the user may determine if enough space for nodes was allocated.
+ *
+ * The node ID of the local node is returned at self.
+ *
+ * Return:
+ * Upon successful completion, scif_get_node_ids() returns the actual number of
+ * online nodes in the SCIF network including 'self'; otherwise in user mode
+ * -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error; in kernel mode no
+ * errors are returned.
+ *
+ * Errors:
+ * EFAULT - Bad address
