Hello all,
I hope we all had nice holidays and vacations, and now it's the time to
get back to business.
Agenda for OFED meeting today:
1. Conclusions from OFED 1.4 release: Open discussion
2. Do we wish to have OFED 1.4.: Please send pros & cons before the
meeting
3. OFED 1.5: Schedule and features.
This is what we presented in SC08 about 1.5:
Preliminary Schedule:
* Feature Freeze: 3/20/09
* Alpha Release: 3/20/09
* Beta Release: 4/20/09
* RC1: 5/5/09
* RC2-RCx: About every 2 weeks as needed
* Release: June 2009
Features:
* Kernel.org: 2.6.28 and 2.6.29
* Multiple Event Queues to support Multi-core CPUs
* NFS/RDMA - GA
* RDS support for iWARP
* OpenMPI 1.3
* Add support/backports for RedHat EL 5.3 and EL 4.8, SLES 11
* Support for Mellanox vNIC (EoIB) and FCoIB with BridgeX device
* more TBD...
We also presented the OS matrix but I suggest we will close this in the
next meeting.
My proposal:
* Have the release in July and not June - so we will have more
time for development
* Stick to one kernel version base and not change in the middle
since we saw that changing the kernel base caused a delay.
We need to decide in the meeting if it is 2.6.29 or we should wait for
2.6.30.
* Add IB over Eth - this is similar to iWARP but more like IB
(e.g. including UD), and can work over ConnectX.
Please send your suggestions to the list before the meeting if possible
