Based on the help I received from this list, I am pleased to make available a Rocks roll that provides openib gen2 drivers for Rocks clusters. The roll is based on a SVN snapshot from Sept 22nd, and provides a Linux kernel 2.9.13 as well as tweaks to the ulimits for memory locks, etc. It includes both the openib drivers and an mvapich-gen2 compiled with gcc 3.4.3 20041212 (Red Hat 3.4.3-9.EL4)
This roll has been used for performance and correctness testing here at D.E. Shaw R&D, but has not been widely stressed and may still contain bugs. We have tested it with Topspin HCAs (Mellanox). It is appropriate for clusters running Rocks version 4.0. The RPMS contained within may perhaps work with Linux systems based on RHEL4. The Rocks Cluster team has graciously hosted both the binary roll iso and source: ftp://ftp.rocksclusters.org/pub/contrib/openib/ See http://www.rocksclusters.org/Rocks/ for information on Rocks and http://www.rocksclusters.org/rocks-documentation/reference-guide/3.2.0/r oll-file.html#ROLL-DEVEL For information about building rolls. Thank you again for your help, Federico _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [email protected] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
