[OMPI devel] RFC: WinVerbs BTL component

[Shiqing Fan]

WHAT: A new BTL component using WinVerbs API

WHY: Support Infiniband on Windows

WHERE: in ompi/mca/btl/wv

WHEN: Next Tuesday, 1st March 2011

==

The openib component was working for windows using the WinOF libibverbs 
driver, which is based on WinVerbs. However, directly using WinVerbs API 
will principally gain more performance. A new WinVerbs component was 
built and optimized only for Windows platforms.

[OMPI devel] Help needed to run OMPI jobs under internal resource manager

[Tony Lam]

Hi,

I'm looking into supporting running OMPI jobs on our internal compute 
farms, specially we'd like to schedule and launch the jobs under the 
control of an internal resource manager that we developed. My reading so 
far indicated this can be achieved with some orted/plm plug-in 
(preferred over rsh/ssh), I'll appreciate if someone can give me 
suggestion on what exact plug-ins should be provided and what interfaces 
are expected from the plug-ins, I didn't find much info on this with my 
search on the mailing list and OMPI docs.


Currently we have ompi v1.3, we can upgrade to a newer version if needed.

Thanks.

Tony
