Zero-sided RDMA: Network-driven Data Shuffling for Disaggregated Heterogeneous Cloud DBMSs

Summary: Zero-sided RDMA enables network-native data shuffling via programmable switches, with neither sender nor receiver actively involved. For disaggregated, heterogeneous cloud DBMSs, it avoids full RDMA stacks and CPU coordination, and outperforms one-sided RDMA for accelerator-to-accelerator transfers and joins.
