One other thing I hope to talk is some fabric query functionalities for normal user, not only just for root. This is at IB verbs level, not rdma_cm level.
for example, in MPI, process A know the HCA guid on another node. After running for some time, the switch is restarted for some reason, and the whole fabric is re-configured. Now process A wants to know if the port lid on another node has changed or not, it knows the HCA guid, is there any function to query this ? I know as root, we can use the mad/umad library to do this kind of query, I want to do such query in MPI, which is a normal user. --CQ Tang, HP-MPI > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Erez Zilber > Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2008 8:51 AM > To: Tziporet Koren > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; general@lists.openfabrics.org > Subject: [ofa-general] Re: [ewg] OFED March 24 meeting > summary on OFED 1.4 plans > > > > > *OFED 1.4:* > > 1.
