You can use RDMA Core, a set of Linux userspace libraries and daemons, to work with RDMA devices for high-speed network communication. It supports many kernel drivers and provides tools and libraries like libibverbs and librdmacm to manage RDMA devices and connections. You can build it easily with cmake and install required packages depending on your Linux distribution. Using RDMA Core lets you set up software RDMA interfaces and verify them with commands like `ibv_devices` or `rdma link`. This helps you achieve faster, low-latency data transfer, which is useful for high-performance computing and networking tasks.

🔈Most Common Smart Speaker Usage
People are doing plenty of things with voice commands on their #SmartSpeakers, but shopping isn’t really one of them. Only about a quarter to a third of U.S. smart speaker owners have ever purchased something using voice. Very few do so on a regular basis. An Information article this summer said just 2 percent of #Alexa owners had made a purchase via Alexa in 2018.

🗣The State of Chinese Voice Assistants
China is the second-largest consumer market in the world, hitting $4.3T in consumer expenditure in 2016 alone (for reference, the US ranked first with $12.5T, and Japan third with $2.7T).
The Chinese smart home market will reach nearly $23B in 2018, according to Juniper Research. #SmartSpeakers and #AI voice assistants are becoming an integral part of that.
Now that smart speakers are becoming commonplace, the early entrant, #Amazon, is losing its market share — and not just to its rival #Google, but to newer players emerging in China.
