✨ NAME ✨

Hi bestie! 💖 You're reading the VMA(7) manual page — the header has VMA(@VMA_LIBRARY_MAJOR@.@VMA_LIBRARY_MINOR@.@VMA_LIBRARY_REVISION@) energy, and the manual name is VMA(7). This is the page for the VMA - NVIDIA Messaging Accelerator (VMA) library. Iconic, honestly. 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

The synopsis is literally just this:

libvma.so

No cap. That's the whole vibe check. ✨

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

Okay so VMA — the NVIDIA Messaging Accelerator — boosts performance for message-based and streaming applications, like the ones you find in financial services market data environments and Web2.0 clusters. 💅

It lets an application written over standard socket API run over Ethernet and/or Infiniband from user-space with full network stack bypass. The result is a reduction in latency by as much as 300%, an increase in application throughput by as much as 200%, higher packets rates, and better CPU utilization — compared to applications running on standard Ethernet or InfiniBand interconnect networks. It's giving performance glow-up fr fr. 🔥

🎀 FILES 🎀

  • /etc/libvma.conf — the system wide configuration file. Look inside libvma.conf for instructions and examples. 🧚
  • /usr/share/doc/libvma/README.txt — general VMA Library description. 💖
  • /usr/share/doc/libvma/VMA_VERSION — VMA Library version information. ⭐

Cute sign-off: this page comes from source/version libvma, dated 20 May 2026. The raw footer also has VM...A(7) in it, but we're not copying that line — we're just hyping it. 🫶💜
