NetEffect is proud to announce the following series of patches which contain the source code for the NE020 10Gb RNIC adapter. The driver is split into two components - a kernel driver module and a userspace library.
The code can also be found in the following git trees. git.openfabrics.org/~glenn/libnes.git git.openfabrics.org/~glenn/ofed_1_2.git git.openfabrics.org/~glenn/ofascripts.git git.openfabrics.org/~glenn/ofed_1_2_scripts.git Requirements ============ * NE020 hardware * RHEL4u4 or FC5 * OFED 1.2 GA * OFED 1.2 version of MVAPICH2 Known issues ============ * DAPL only works with 1 process per node due to lack of loopback * MPI over DAPL must use MPI shared memory loopback Plans for next release ====================== * Plan on adding verbs loopback to enable DAPL loopback * Increase robustness and stability What we tested ============== The performance results are meant to be broadly representative. Results can vary depending on switches used, system configuration, OS used, etc. Configuration notes: All two node tests were performed back-to-back i.e. no switch Multinode testing was performed using a high performance, low latency cut-through switch.
