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

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

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

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