Hi Scott, It uses RC QPs so it's scalability is as good as any other large scale app with similar HCA resource requirements. As an aside: As I understand it Mellanox is working on a new piece of hardware called Connect-IB (somewhat of a successor to Connext-X 3) that will use a temporary/virtual resource mapping for RC QPs that should make this a non-issue. Press release is here: http://www.mellanox.com/content/pages.php?pg=press_release_item&rec_id=814 The HCA is just in general much beefier in terms of available resources for QPs and MRs so it's a big boon for big clusters than need to use all-to-all RC QPs. That being said I don't have a computer with enough nodes for it to make a difference. :( Joseph. -- CTO | Orion Virtualisation Solutions | www.orionvm.com.au Phone: 1300 56 99 52 | Mobile: 0428 754 846 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
