  1. OFI SW – ProgressRevisited Sean Hefty - Intel Corporation

  2. Recap • Ability of the underlying implementation to complete processing of an asynchronous request • Need to consider ALL asynchronous requests • Connections, address resolution, data transfers, event processing, completions, etc. • HW/SW mix All(?) current solutions require significant software components www.openfabrics.org

  3. Proposal • Support two progress models • Automatic and implicit (name?) • Identify operations as belong to one of two progress domains • Data or control www.openfabrics.org

  4. Proposal • Implicit progress • Occurs when reading or waiting on EQ(s) • Application can use separate EQs for control and data • Progress limited to endpoints associated with selected EQ(s) • App can request automatic progress • E.g. app wants to wait on native wait object • Implies provider allocated threading www.openfabrics.org

  5. Implementation • Progress attributes added to fi_info • Optional input hints • If not specified, provider reports optimal model • Event queue operations • Read and wait – single EQ • Domain operations • Read and wait – multiple EQs www.openfabrics.org
