<title>OFED March 24 meeting summary on OFED 1.4 plans</title>
<br>
<p> OFED March 24 meeting summary about OFED 1.4 and 1.3.1 plans: </p>
<p><b> 1.3.1 Release: </b>
<br>
As we decided we should do a release in 2-3 month after 1.3. <br>
In addition if there are any special fixes as outcome from the interop
we can do a release earlier. <br>
All - please send me your requests for fixed issues and needed time
frame and I will publish 1.3.1 schedule based on this. </p>
<br>

<br>
There will be some cxgb3 driver changes for 1.3.1.<br>

<p><b> OFED 1.4: </b>
<br>
1. Kernel base: since we target 1.4 release to Sep we target the kernel
base to be 2.6.27 <br>
This is a good target, but we may need to stay with 2.6.26 if the
kernel progress will not be aligned. </p>
<p> 2. Suggestions for new features: </p>
<ul>
<li> NFS-RDMA </li>
<li> Verbs: Reliable Multicast (to be presented at Sonoma) </li>
<li> SDP - Zero copy (There was a question on IPv6 support - seems
no one interested for now) </li>
<li> IPoIB - continue with performance enhancements </li>
<li> Xsigo new virtual NIC </li>
<li> New vendor HW support - non was reported so far (IBM and
Chelsio - do you have something?) </li>
<li> OpenSM: </li>
<ul>
<li> Incremental routing </li>
<li> Temporary SA DB - to answer queries and a heavy sweep is
done </li>
<li> APM - disjoint paths (?) </li>
<li> MKey manager (?) </li>
<li> Sasha to send more management features </li>
</ul>
<li> MPI: </li>
<ul>
<li> Open MPI 1.3 </li>
<li> APM support in MPI </li>
<li> mvapich ??? </li>
</ul>
<li> uDAPl </li>
<ul>
<li> Extensions for new APIs (like XRC) - ? </li>
<li> uDAPL provider for interop between Windows & Linux </li>
<li> 1.2 and 2.0 will stay</li>
</ul>
</ul>

Sorry I missed these meetings. For iWARP, here is my plan:<br>
<br>
New iWARP Verbs:<br>
<br>
- stag_alloc/dealloc<br>
- nsmr_fastreg<br>
- read-with-inv-local-stag<br>
- inv-local-stag<br>
<br>
Note the above verbs might be transport-independent. I believe the
IBTA has defined a fastreg verb too?<br>
<br>
- peer-2-peer support in IWCM/Drivers<br>
<br>
Steve.<br>
