  1. Server OEM Panel OFA Sonoma Workshop Bob Souza, HP 15 March 2010 www.openfabrics.org

  2. Usual Talk • Where we use OFED • High-Performance Clusters • From big to small. Mostly Linux. Multiple kernels, distributions, interconnect vendors • Limited use in HP-UX (SRP, RDS) • FSI market data, messaging • Storage (HP SFSg3, X9000 NAS) • Whine about • Distros • Vendor-specific releases • Support

  3. Last Year • 10 GbE on motherboards • Big, flat 10 GbE switches • CEE/DCB enabling • Converged Ethernet • 10 GbE RDMA alternatives

  4. RDMA Choice • Rich RDMA ecosystem - customer chooses • IB • iWARP • RoCEE, aka ((IBx?)|R|RDMA)o(CE)?E • Buy the performance you need

  5. Nurturing the RDMA Ecosystem • HPC becoming mainstream • Cores, Ethernet • Migrate 1 GbE community to 10GbE • The 50% of TOP500 on 1GbE • The hoi polloi who get 10GbE LOM for ‘free’ • Good 10 GbE performance data helps everyone • Make it easy • Make it easy

  6. Nurturing the RDMA Ecosystem Leveraging CNAs • 10 GbE • FCoE + RDMA • RoCEE • iWARP

  7. What’s Important IB Cost of large fabrics can be an issue • Fat-tree alternatives for cost reduction • Pruned trees • Torus • Etc.

  8. What’s important • Customer Choice • Interoperability • More than ever • Vendor responsibility • Simplified customer interactions, support • Drives adoption • More code downstream helps • It should ‘just work’
