Strong words from a guy whose only published performance whitepaper compares Fluent performance using very different versions of Fluent. (No, they aren't comparable.) If you're referring to one of my old whitpapers, if I compared single-core to dual I made it clear, and there was no direct data to compare to. As you are aware, there's very little published performance data for Mellanox adaptors, but I'm sure you'll work hard at making such info available. MPI2007 is a great opportunity to compare performance: I encourage you to give it your best shot. Also, your use of "you" is overly wide, let me give you a guide for telling the difference betweeen Kevin Ball and Greg Lindahl: Kevin Greg diplomatic rude physicist astronomer short hair long hair ballroom dance renaisssance dance thin middle-age spread tall claims he's "average height" too young to be cynical "you kids! when I was YOUR age..." > Unlike QLogic InfiniPath adapters, Mellanox provide different InfiniBand > HCA silicon and adapters. Er, there are 2 kinds of InfiniPath silicon, thanks for noticing. I'll be looking forward to seeing lots of MPI2007 benchmark results from you, Gilad. -- greg (used to work for PathScale, apparently still vehement about it. :-) _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
