Main changes from RC4:

bellow
2.	SRP - is now available on RHEL4 up2 and up3
3.	Open MPI - new package based on 1.1a7-1
4.	OSU-MPI - SRQ changed to be run time option
5.	Added support for building RPMs by non-root user (using build.sh
script)
6.	PPC64: all binaries and libraries will be compiled 64-bit.
libsdp will be compiled 32-bit also.
	MPI OSU and Open MPI are compiling on PPC64
7.	Installation enhancements:

	a.	Removing link from /usr/bin to <prefix>/bin. 
		Instead added /etc/profile.d/ofed.sh and
/etc/profile.d/ofed.csh in order to update PATH variable with
<prefix>/bin.
		To update the PATH variable logout/login or 'source
/etc/profile.d/ofed.(c)sh'  is required.
	b.	Added /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ofed.conf, instead of updating
the system ld.so.conf.

8.	ipath driver compiled on all systems (64 bits only).
9.	Bug Fixes.

 

 

Package limitations:

1.	iSER is working on SuSE SLES 10 Beta8 only

 

SDP Details: 

Current SDP limitations:

*         SDP currently does not support sending/receiving out of band
data (MSG_OOB).

*         Generally, SDP supports only SOL_SOCKET socket options.

*         The following options can be set but actual support is
missing:

o        SO_KEEPALIVE - no keepalives are sent

o        SO_OOBINLINE - out of band data is not supported

o        SDP currently supports setting the following SOL_TCP socket
options:

o        TCP_NODELAY, TCP_CORK - but actual support for these options is
still missing

*         SDP currently does not handle Zcopy mode messages correctly
and does not set MaxAdverts properly in HH/HAH messages.

*         SDP currently does not support IPv6 addressing.

 

The following applications have been tested to work with SDP:

*         iperf

*         net_perf

*         netpipe

*         ttcp

*         ssh

*         mySQL

*         Java apps over GIJ (GNU libgcj)

 

The following applications are known not to work:

*         telnet

*         ftp

*         apache web server
