Depends on the number of CPUs and the workload. The single workqueue design starts being inefficient when you start getting idle time because every workqueue thread is asleep waiting for an HCA to do something (like a modify QP firmware command). If there are other HCAs ready to do useful work they won't be able to get to it and throughput will be lower than it would be with a thread per HCA port. - R. _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
