There has been a long outstanding set of requests to obtain HW specific data from libfabric. A side discussion brought this topic up again, so I'd like to at least put it on the agenda as a possible feature for 1.7. As a point of reference, Cisco has implemented a set of provider specific ops to retrieve device specific data. It's fairly simple, and details are here:
https://github.com/cisco/usnic_tools/blob/master/usnic_devinfo.c This feature would obviously only apply to providers that are directly associated with some sort of HW device. What I would like to start to collect is a list of what sort of attributes would be desirable to report, or what applications or users could make use of. - Sean _______________________________________________ ofiwg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openfabrics.org/mailman/listinfo/ofiwg
