  1. OFA Workshop Wrap-up, feedback and action items Hope you had a good time – how did we do? Jim Ryan, Chairman, OFA March 17, 2010 www.openfabrics.org

  2. Feedback on the Workshop • More technical content is needed • Per Steve, this will only happen if the technical community gets involved • Interesting suggestion to use the second half of the last day to do a BoF instead of SC10 • Panels: • One point was they weren’t panels, for the most part, in that speakers didn’t interact. They just offered thoughts on questions • At the same time, panelists couldn’t be open in their remarks, in some cases, because they were competitors in addressing the subject, e.g., Exascale www.openfabrics.org

  3. Feedback on the Workshop (cont’d) • Provide lanyards for name tags • Make the names on the tags larger • Improve the internet service • Move to a Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday format • Possibility of a move to Monterey • Not enough young people – look into some sort of student internships. Possibly approach DK for ideas or direct participation on the part of some of his grad students www.openfabrics.org

  4. Feedback on OFA • Interesting thoughts from Carl on promoting IBA-based storage. I’d like to understand how to support this • Solved the interop/logo program, at least for now • We adopted the SWOT results and agreed to the next stage of analysis • Investigate some sort of “Technology Advisory Board”, akin to what the Linux Foundation and some other groups have. Ask Lloyd Dickman to provide some initial thoughts. Purpose: investigate competing and future technology www.openfabrics.org

  5. Feedback on ExaScale • My take-away was that it will require profound changes to virtually all components • What surprised me was there may be challenges to RDMA in the “PetaScale era”, per Lloyd’s comments www.openfabrics.org

  6. Feedback on New/Competing Technologies • RoCEE is here • Suggest a survey should be completed. Candidates include: • AMQP • Eucalyptus • DSS www.openfabrics.org

  7. Thank you Sponsors: www.openfabrics.org
