FYI Shourya ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: New Release of Berkeley VIA for Myrinet Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2000 21:08:24 -0800 From: Matt Welsh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Berkeley VIA v2.3 release, February 21, 2000 Berkeley VIA v2.3 is an implementation of the VIA Virtual Interface Architecture for Myrinet LanAI 4.x boards and Linux 2.2.x. It is available for download at: http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~mdw/proj/via/berkeley-via-2.3.tar.gz For more information on the Berkeley VIA Project, see http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~philipb/via/ New in this release is support for connection-oriented VIs, blocking send and receive interfaces, as well as several important bug fixes. Berkeley VIA is a high-performance implementation of the Virtual Interface Architecture over Myrinet LanAI 4.x boards and Linux 2.2.x. It provides a round-trip latency of under 70 microseconds for small messages, and over 410 Megabits/sec bandwidth for large messages (4 Kilobytes). Note that Berkeley VIA is not directly related to the "M-VIA" Modular VIA implementation from LBNL (which is also in Berkeley). One of our future goals is to integrate this code with M-VIA.
