There is no documentation for the winverbs API. The code is still under initial testing, so documentation will come a later. The current users of winverbs are libraries themselves (libibverbs, librdmacm, network direct, and DAPL), as opposed to applications. There are man pages for libibverbs/librdmacm available through the Linux downloads that should apply for windows as well. The verbs interface was initially based on the Infiniband verbs as defined in the IBA specification - mainly chapter 11. So that would be usable as documentation as well. Sample apps exist for both libraries - their examples and the perftests. DAPL definitely has more documentation and is the most portable option. I don't know how many applications use the DAPL interface beyond Intel's MPI. - Sean _______________________________________________ ofw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ofw
