[ofa-general] ***SPAM*** PPC64 platform and InfiniBand HW

[Toru Nishimura]

Hi, OpenFabrics guys,

I'm new to HPC technology domain and one of engineering
team being asked to research a clustering computer built
with OFED and PPC combination.

My initial Qs are;

- I can see PPC64 is one of supported architecture.  What
are PPC64 platform in use, for development and in-field
applications?  We need proven / known-to-work PPC64
platform(s) as a solid foundation to start the entire project.
Specific model names are wanted.

- What IB HW are in use for PPC64 combination?  We are
consulted to use Mellanox LX PCIe card.  Is the product
mature enough for PPC64 platforms?
