Subject: [ANNOUNCE] Host Fabric Interface (HFI) device driver available on sourceforge
Date: Sat, 30 Oct 2010 23:10:27 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4CCCDE23.1090202@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
The HFI network interface is the internal cluster fabric of IBM's PERCS
supercomputer. The device driver patch for 2.6.36, hfi-utils, and an
introduction to the hardware are available on the sourceforge page
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/hfidevicedriver). The hardware design
is under US export control, so we cannot release hardware specs.
The HFI device driver allows direct user-space access to network
resources; a reference library will be uploaded to
http://sourceforge.net/projects/halreferencelib in the next few days.
The driver has been running in the lab for several months. The
user-space access is essentially complete. We are still working on IPv6,
and we are now starting work on an ofed-over-hfi driver, but we'd like
to start the review process without them.
