[mvapich-discuss] OpenIB Presentation on MVAPICH/MVAPICH2 has been linked to the MVAPICH page

[Dhabaleswar Panda]

The presentation made at the OpenIB workshop in Sonoma is now linked
to the MVAPICH page. I have also sent the slides to Matt for it to be
linked to the main OpenIB page. 

This presentation describes the current status of MVAPICH and MVAPICH2
projects, latest performance numbers (such as SDR-DDR comparisons) and
upcoming features. Especially, the initial set of performance numbers
with the following upcoming features are included:

- SRQ with Flow control for scalability to multi-thousand nodes
   - basic performance benefits
   - reduced memory requirements as systems scale and performance
     benefits to applications

- Fault Tolerance features
   - Memory-to-memory reliability
   - Network-level Fault Tolerance with Automatic Path Migration (APM)
   - Process-level Fault Tolerance with Checkpoint-Restart

- Multi-threading Support

- Multi-network Support through uDAPL

- Adaptive Connection Management
   - On-demand based schemes for scalability to multi-thousand nodes

We are working towards rolling out these features in successive
MVAPICH and MVAPICH2 releases during the next 2-3 months.

Please feel free to take a look at the slides and let us know if you
have any comments or suggestions on these upcoming features.

Thanks, 

DK
