OK. Let me know when you would start to implement. I will document what is needed before then. > Does anyone have any SMA code in openib project yet? PathScale has one but it is married to the PathScale hardware.

It's more than that: in addition to the IB hardware/driver difference, it will need to be ported from Linux to whatever Cray OS is. > Is the SMA implemented in firmware on mellanox cards?

PathScale has an soft SMA for their HCAs already (for Linux at least). -- Hal _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [email protected] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
