Arlin,
<div class="">You mention the git repo below.</div>
<div class="">That list is attached, and is different from the “Downloads” page.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I am beginning to think we remove the Downloads page completely, and point people to the git repo.</div>
<div class="">That git repo needs a serious clean up too.</div>
<div class="">My suggestion is a sunset timeframe to motivate folks to move any valid repos to github.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">That is not my call, but I will propose it at the next Board meeting as a discussion point.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The repo information is in the Excel spreadsheet attached.</div>
<div class="">The 26 entries in the section at the top are the only ones that appear close to being valid.</div>
<div class="">The others, I propose, we send notification about their removal, and then delete them.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Again - this is a >proposal< and I am sending these lists out as a first wag at what might still be valid.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanx.</div>

Yes, we do have to provide support for Intel MPI and Xeon Phi Co-Processor<br class="">
for a couple more years. IBM DB2 PureScale is also a consumer of DAPL,<br class="">
mainly because of the OS agnostic RDMA interfaces.<br class="">

There is not much addition work (other than bug fixes) is being done<br class="">
on DAPL, but it is still used by the shipping version of Intel MPI, so<br class="">
we still need the repo for now.<br class="">
<br class="">
Longer term, the next version of Intel MPI for 2019 is based on OFI<br class="">
and I am not sure if anything else is actually using DAPL, so longer<br class="">
term, Jason is right that it will stop being relevant in a couple of years.<br class="">

libvmw_pvrdma is already part of rdma-core these days<br class="">
<br class="">
libscif is a 'verbs provider' and is incompatible with rdma-core, so<br class="">
it is basically useless for OFA. Recommend to remove it too.<br class="">
<br class="">
That leaves only two things.. DAPL is basically a dead project<br class="">
superceeded by libfabric. It will stop being relavent in two years I suspect.<br class="">
<br class="">
The same excercies should be done on the windows side. AFAIK 'OFED for<br class="">
Windows' and related is completely dead and should be removed too.<br class="">

This has been a long time coming … we need to remove old, obsolete<br class="">
cruft from the OFA “repo”.<br class="">
Please review the attached document - it has 2 sections.<br class="">
1. A list of the directories available from the "OpenFabrics Software”<br class="">
page.<br class="">
That page is a quick link from the OFA home page, so easy to get to and<br class="">
therefore prone to confuse.<br class="">
I am recommending all but 3 of those directories should be removed.<br class="">
If we can find a better place for the 3 that seem current - that would<br class="">
be great.<br class="">
( since there is no “OpenFabrics Software” - and that whole page needs<br class="">
a major upgrade )<br class="">
2. A list of Maintainers.<br class="">
We should either review and insure correctness of this list - or remove<br class="">
it entirely.<br class="">
Any feedback is appreciated.<br class="">
Thanx.<br class="">
