[ofw] Hello there

[Smith, Stan]

Hello,
  Please download and install the winOFED (Windows OpenFabrics Enterprise Distribution) which will provide
- RDMA programming interfaces for Infiniband hardware (Mellanox HCAs are supported).
- IPoIB (Internet Protocols over Infiniband)
- RDMA code examples along with build instructions (when installing be sure to include the IB SKD from the selectable feature set.

Once winOFED is installed, see Start->OFED->manual for additional information.
Example code is installed in %SystemDrive%\IB_SDK\.

Please download the latest (soon to be released as winOFED 2.3) as there are SDK fixes for building which make building life easier.
http://www.openfabrics.org/downloads/Windows/v2.3_RC7/

Visual Studio 8, VS-10 or WDK SDK examples included.
At the next OFA workshop in April, there will be RDMA programming classes you might be interested in.

stan.

PS: All feedback is appreciated.

Subject: [ofw] Hello there

Hi,

My name is David and I'm a software engineer. Currently I'm interested in APIs that bypass the Windows (kernel) TCP/IP stack, and I've been told that OFED is the answer to my prayers. My company already bought Mellanox NIC (Ethernet), so now is time to change our software. I've been checking the openfabrics webpage, and wiki.openfabrics.org, although we can find some documentation, I don't know where to start. Is there anyone that can point me to the right direction? Like: Which API's for windows to use for Ethernet NICS? Is there documentation to that particular API? Can I find API's for c# and/or c++?? Any other information will be much appreciated.

Thanks a lot


Regards,

David Barrientos Velasco
