WHAT: Remove the mvapi BTL for the v1.3 release. WHY: None of the IB vendors want to maintain it anymore; our future is OFED. If someone still has mvapi IB drivers, they can use the OMPI v1.2 series. WHERE: svn rm ompi/mca/btl/mvapi WHEN: Before the v1.3 release. TIMEOUT: COB, Thurs, Oct 11, 2007 ----- None of the IB vendors are interested in maintaining the "mvapi" BTL anymore. Indeed, none of us have updated it with any of the new/ interesting/better performance features that went into the openib BTL over the past year (or more). Additionally, some changes may be coming in the OMPI infrastructure that would *require* some revamping in the mvapi BTL -- and no one of Cisco, Voltaire, Mellanox is willing to do it. So we'd like to ditch the mvapi BTL starting with v1.3 and have the official guidance be that if you have mvapi, you need to use the OMPI v1.2 series (i.e., remove this from the SVN trunk in the Very Near Future). -- Jeff Squyres Cisco Systems _______________________________________________ devel mailing list de...@open-mpi.org http://www.open-mpi.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/devel
