Tom, We are in the process of measuring the CPU utilization on our NFS/RDMA experiments in contrast with regular the NFS, we also intend to include netperf numbers and will keep you posted with our results as soon as possible.
Helen ----- original Message ----- >From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Jun 5 09:03:56 2006 Helen, have you measured the CPU utilizations during these runs? Perhaps you are out of CPU. Outrageous opinion follows. Frankly, an IB HCA running Ethernet emulation is approximately the world's worst 10GbE adapter (not to put too fine of a point on it :-) ) There is no hardware checksumming, nor large-send offloading, both of which force overhead onto software. And, as you just discovered it isn't even 10Gb! In general, network emulation layers are always going to perform more poorly than native implementations. But this is only a generality learned from years of experience with them. Tom. _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list openib-general@openib.org http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list openib-general@openib.org http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
