[Openib-windows] Open IB 2006 Sonoma Workshop

[Asaf Somekh]

Hi Gilad,

 

I'd like to see a storage session in 5.

This could be a panel discussing block storage protocols and file I/O
with MS and the vendors on this panel.

 

Thx,

Asaf

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 
MemFree technology reduce the need of local attached memory. This
presentation will cover the new host memory structure (ICM), and the
MemFree concept. In order to support MemFree technology, major changes
have been done in the low level driver. The session will cover the
changes and also performance analysis for comparing to the Mem driver.

Presenters: TBD 

4. Microsoft presentation 
Microsoft view on the windows development, Windows CCS, Longhorn plans
and WHQL 
Presenter: Eric (Microsoft)

Gilad.
