You notice performance degradation in your InfiniBand fabric, particularly when multiple large datasets are being transferred simultaneously. You run diagnostic tools but do not detect obvious hardware failures. Which diagnostic technique would most likely reveal the source of this issue?
A financial services company is using RDMA over InfiniBand to accelerate the processing of real-time market data between servers. The application employs zero-copy techniques to avoid unnecessary data copies during communication. However, after switching to this configuration, the company observes that CPU utilization is still relatively high during data transfers, and performance gains are less than expected. What could be the most likely reason for the suboptimal performance?

You are configuring an HPC cluster that leverages InfiniBand technology. You aim to achieve optimal performance by fine-tuning Quality of Service (QoS) settings to manage different types of network traffic. Which of the following is the most important factor to consider when configuring QoS for InfiniBand in an HPC environment?
