 ## The goal
-To explore systems-level design, test automation and test-driven
-development cycles, and high-performance data movement through
-hardware-software co-design.
+To build a mock system of real-world scale-up networks with cheap
+hardware.  Aiming at better performance than non-RDMA enabled
+Ethernet systems.
