[ewg] EWG/OFED meeting minutes for Aug 21, 2012

[Woodruff, Robert J]

Tziporet and Vlad are on vacation this week but Vlad sent me an update on
progress of OFED-3.5


Changes since OFED-3.5-rc1:
 
compat-rdma: Fix for ucma context uid=0, causing iWarp RDMA applications to fail in connection establishment.
compat-rdma: NFSRDMA SLES11SP2 backport
Added qperf package: qperf-0.4.7-0.2.gf3f700
Updated perftest-1.4.0-0.80.gd1763bd
 
The latest daily build: http://www.openfabrics.org/downloads/OFED/ofed-3.5-daily/OFED-3.5-20120821-0854.tgz
 
Still Expecting:
*	NFSRDMA backports for RHEL6.2/3 (Jeff Becker)
*	RDS backports from Oracle


We discussed progress on testing so far. 
Intel has started some testing with Intel MPI 4.0.3 on SLES 11 SP2 and RHEL EL 6.3 and so far
no issues have been discovered.

The Intel nes team has found a performance regression in the 3.5 kernel and will be 
submitting a patch.

Steve reported that chelsio QA has started testing but did not have a report from
them yet.

We also do not have any news from the Interop working group if they have started 
any testing yet. Woody will follow up offline with Rupert.
