This list is a sub-group of the OpenFabrics Interconnect Working Group (OFIWG). I'm posting a summary of what has happened so far for those who are just joining the discussion.<br>
<br>
The OFIWG is designing a new low-level Linux networking API. Think of it as "Verbs 2.0", but without all the verbs / IB-specific baggage (*** see links at the end for more info on the overall effort).<br>
<br>
In January, we collected a lot of feedback from the MPI community and presented it to the OFIWG. Attached are the collated requirements / feedback that were presented to the OFIWG (*** see links at the end for more info).<br>
<br>
These requirements were presented to the OFIWG (they asked lots of good questions), and much work has progressed beyond then.<br>
<br>
This list was created to host the MPI-centric sub-discussions of the larger OFIWG libfabric discussions.<br>
