[ofw] Sonoma presentation on future of WinOF

[Gilad Shainer]

Ben,
 
The work on WinOF was never stopped and there are no plans to stop it
... :-). There are 2 sessions on Windows in the Sonoma Conference. 
Just to make it clear, there are no others OFED stacks. There is one
OFED stack (Linux) and one WinOF stack (Windows). The stacks are
interoperable on the IPoIB and SDP components.
 
Gilad.

I agree with Sean. Windows has lots of deployments in many sectors that
would like to use IB. The new Holland Computing Center at UNO is
supposed to be the largest Windows HPC environment with about 1151
nodes. IB is the interconnect. Also, there are many Defense initiatives
looking into the use of IB for utility computing infrastructures, and
there are lots of Windows connections that would have to be made. 
 
I believe that we must continue the work on the OFW and get it
interoperable with the other OFED stacks, completely, and quickly.

I just noticed that the previously scheduled presentation on the future
of winof
has been removed from the OFA workshop agenda.  Does anyone have any
info on
why?

It's possible not a lot of the attendees at the conference will care
much about
Windows, but I do think that ofw should discuss and come to some
conceptual
agreements on the overall, *long term* direction to take the stack.
