@ingroup UCP_WORKER @brief UCP Worker
UCP worker is an opaque object representing the communication context. The worker represents an instance of a local communication resource and the progress engine associated with it. The progress engine is a construct that is responsible for asynchronous and independent progress of communication directives. The progress engine could be implemented in hardware or software. The worker object abstracts an instance of network resources such as a host channel adapter port, network interface, or multiple resources such as multiple network interfaces or communication ports. It could also represent virtual communication resources that are defined across multiple devices. Although the worker can represent multiple network resources, it is associated with a single @ref ucp_context_h “UCX application context”. All communication functions require a context to perform the operation on the dedicated hardware resource(s) and an @ref ucp_ep_h “endpoint” to address the destination.
@note Worker are parallel “threading points” that an upper layer may use to optimize concurrent communications.
