  1. Open Fabrics BOF Tziporet Koren, Gilad Shainer, Yiftah Shahar, Bob Woodruff, Betsy Zeller

  2. Agenda • Introduction – 5 minutes • OFA objectives and goals • Open Fabrics Linux Update (15 – minutes) • OFED 1.3, 1.3.1, 1.4 releases • OFED 1.5 plans and roadmap • Open Fabrics Windows Update (15 – minutes) • WinOF 2.0 release • WinOF 2.1 plans and roadmap • Open Discussion – 25 minutes

  3. OFA Objectives and Goals • Open Fabrics “The mission of the OpenFabrics Alliance (OFA) is to develop, distribute and promote a unified, transport-independent, open-source software stack for RDMA-capable fabrics and networks, including InfiniBand and Ethernet “ • Support for both Microsoft Windows and Linux • Development happens using a typical open source development model • Developer’s Working Group • code developed and reviewed using email lists • Validation and Release by the Enterprise Working Group and the Windows Working Group • OFED – for Linux • WinOF – for Windows

  4. Agenda • Introduction – 5 minutes • OFA objectives and goals • Open Fabrics Linux Update (15 – minutes) • OFED 1.3, 1.3.1, 1.4 releases • OFED 1.5 plans and roadmap • Open Fabrics Windows Update (15 – minutes) • WinOF 2.0 release • WinOF 2.1 plans and roadmap • Open Discussion – 25 minutes

  6. OFED 1.3 – General Info • Released on Feb 28 2008 • Distros integration: • RH AS 4.7 and RHEL 5.2 • SLES10 SP2 • Passed OFA interop on March

  7. Main Benefits of OFED 1.3 • Improved performance, scalability and latency across networks • Simplifies and accelerates the deployment of InfiniBand and iWARP solutions, by ease on distros OFED integration • Quality of Service (QoS) management capabilities that enable unified LAN, IPC and SAN applications over the same wire • New routing algorithms to help optimize network and system performance and scalability • Improved upper layer protocols for superior IP and sockets-based application performance, including database applications • Enhancements that enable MPI and applications to scale efficiently to large numbers of nodes while reducing the memory footprint required on servers • Enhanced diagnostic tools to improve network management • Support for additional Independent Hardware Vendor (IHV) solutions • Expanded interoperability with OEM solutions, including network and storage equipment, to provide enterprise IT departments with more flexibility
