[Infiniband-general] RE: [openib-general] Ottawa Linux Symposium - BOF slides

[Woodruff, R. J <rob...@in...>]

People at the OLS InfiniBand BOF were asking if I could provide the
slides
that were presented. I posted them on the sourceforge website, since I
manage
that one.=20
http://sourceforge.net/projects/infiniband

Hopefully, they accurately reflect the status of InfiniBand open source
direction.
Also many thanks to Troy Benjegerdes for presenting his InfiniBand
performance data

Next year, it would be
good to get more representation from other people in openib.org at OLS,=20
as people were asking why people from Topspin, InfiniCon, Voltaire, and
Mellanox did not attend. One comment I got was that the "InfiniBand
people=20
are ignoring us". i.e., the Linux Community.=20

The good news is that most of the people I spoke with were supportive of
the phased approach being taken by openib.org, i.e, first get a lean
driver, access layer, and IPoIB running and submitted to the kernel
tree, then add ULPs and=20
enhancements over time, so it seems like we are on the right track.=20
