To expand on that slightly, this also includes (to add to the acronym soup) RoCE - RDMA over Converged Ethernet - in other words using Ethernet networks (with appropriate switches) to do the sort of RDMA that you can do over Infiniband. This is important as unlike Infiniband you can't do RoCE out of the box with something like RHEL7 (at least in the experience of the folks I'm helping out here). cheers, Chris -- Christopher Samuel Senior Systems Administrator Melbourne Bioinformatics - The University of Melbourne Email: sam...@unimelb.edu.au Phone: +61 (0)3 903 55545 _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
