MPI OSU and Open MPI are compiling on PPC64 Installation enhancements: Removing link from /usr/bin to <prefix>/bin. Instead added /etc/profile.d/ofed.sh and /etc/profile.d/ofed.csh in order to update PATH variable with <prefix>/bin. To update the PATH variable logout/login or 'source /etc/profile.d/ofed.(c)sh'  is required. Added /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ofed.conf, instead of updating the system ld.so.conf. ipath driver compiled on all systems (64 bits only). Bug Fixes.     Package limitations: iSER is working on SuSE SLES 10 Beta8 only   SDP Details:  Current SDP limitations: ·         SDP currently does not support sending/receiving out of band data (MSG_OOB). ·         Generally, SDP supports only SOL_SOCKET socket options. ·         The following options can be set but actual support is missing: o        SO_KEEPALIVE - no keepalives are sent o        SO_OOBINLINE - out of band data is not supported o        SDP currently supports setting the following SOL_TCP socket options: o        TCP_NODELAY, TCP_CORK - but actual support for these options is still missing ·         SDP currently does not handle Zcopy mode messages correctly and does not set MaxAdverts properly in HH/HAH messages. ·         SDP currently does not support IPv6 addressing.   The following applications have been tested to work with SDP: ·         iperf ·         net_perf ·         netpipe ·         ttcp ·         ssh ·         mySQL ·         Java apps over GIJ (GNU libgcj)   The following applications are known not to work: ·         telnet ·         ftp ·         apache web server   SDP performance: TCP STREAM TEST to 11.4.3.68 Recv   Send    Send                          Utilization       Service Demand Socket Socket  Message  Elapsed              Send     Recv     Send    Recv Size   Size    Size     Time     Throughput  local    remote   local   remote bytes  bytes   bytes    secs.    MBytes  /s  % T      % T      us/KB   us/KB   118784 118784 118784    10.00       801.49   70.19    71.39    3.421   3.480     OFED components tested by Mellanox: Verbs over mthca IPoIB OpenSM OSU-MPI SRP SDP IB administration utils (ibutils)     Please send us any issues you encounter and/or test results.   Thanks Tziporet & Vlad     Tziporet Koren Software Director Mellanox Technologies mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel +972-4-9097200, ext 380
