[Gilad Shainer]

Hi,

Fab (Silverstorm) and Gilad (Mellanox) have worked on an agenda for the
windows sessions. There are 5 sessions availabe and here is the suggestion
for the first 4:

1. Windows general update
Covering the last year development under OpenIB. What is the status of each
of the components, work in progress and future plans. OpenIB release and
schedule, WHQL certification etc. Open discussion on item that are missing.
Presenters - Fab (Silverstorm) and Gilad (Mellanox)

2. SDP
Sockets Direct Protocol (SDP) enables sockets-based applications to
transparently utilize the InfiniBand RDMA and protocol offload capabilities.
CPU utilization is significantly reduced and superior bandwidth can be
achieved. The SDP implementation complies with the InfiniBand standard and
is interoperable with other operating systems. The session introduces the
protocol and presents OpenIB (open source development community)
implementation for SDP in the Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 operating
systems. 
Presenters: Gilad (Mellanox) and TBD

3. MemFree technology

presentation will cover the new host memory structure (ICM), and the MemFree

done in the low level driver. The session will cover the changes and also
performance analysis for comparing to the Mem driver.
