work on WinOF was never stopped and there are no plans to stop it ... :-). There
are 2 sessions on Windows in the Sonoma Conference. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

to make it clear, there are no others OFED stacks. There is one OFED stack
(Linux) and one WinOF stack (Windows). The stacks are interoperable on the IPoIB
and SDP components.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>I agree with Sean. Windows
has lots of deployments in many sectors that would like to use IB. The new
Holland Computing Center at UNO is supposed to be the largest Windows HPC
environment with about 1151 nodes. IB is the interconnect. Also, there are many
Defense initiatives looking into the use of IB for utility computing
infrastructures, and there are lots of Windows connections that would have to be
made. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>I believe that we must continue the work on
the OFW and get it interoperable with the other OFED stacks, completely, and
quickly.</FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT size=2>I just noticed that the previously scheduled presentation on the
future of winof<BR>has been removed from the OFA workshop agenda. Does
anyone have any info on<BR>why?<BR><BR>It's possible not a lot of the attendees
at the conference will care much about<BR>Windows, but I do think that ofw
should discuss and come to some conceptual<BR>agreements on the overall, *long
term* direction to take the stack.<BR><BR>-
