What exactly do you mean by "cost difference with IB"? Are you saying that 10GigE is cheaper than DDR or QDR Infiniband? I keep buying Infiniband gear because it is cheaper (and faster obviously) than 10GigE :)

Thank you for the information; that is very interesting! However, I probably should have specified "over TCP/IP" in my message :-). Despite the difficulties in getting full bandwidth out of 10GigE, the cost difference with IB is too big for me to ignore, I am afraid. Still, this is very promising information. Enough to convince me that it is worth trying OrangeFS in a prototype. Thanks again. - Pat _______________________________________________ Pvfs2-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.beowulf-underground.org/mailman/listinfo/pvfs2-users _______________________________________________ Pvfs2-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.beowulf-underground.org/mailman/listinfo/pvfs2-users
