Hi, Scott,

I have been running SDP tests across two woodcrest nodes with 4x DDR cards using OFED-1.2.5.4. The card/firmware info is below.

CA 'mthca0'
        CA type: MT25208
        Number of ports: 2
        Firmware version: 5.1.400
        Hardware version: a0
        Node GUID: 0x0002c90200228e0c
        System image GUID: 0x0002c90200228e0f

I could not get a bandwidth more than 5Gbps like you have shown here. Wonder if I need to upgrade to the latest software or firmware? Any suggestions?

Thanks,
--Weikuan

Jim,

I am trying OFED-1.3-20071231-0600 and RHEL4 x86_64 on a dual CPU
(single core each CPU) Xeon system.  I do not see any performance
improvement (either throughput or CPU utilization) using netperf when I
set /sys/module/ib_sdp/sdp_zcopy_thresh to 16384.  Can you elaborate on
your HCA type, and performance improvement you see?

Here's an example netperf command line when using a Cheetah DDR HCA and
1.2.917 firmware (I have also tried ConnectX and 2.3.000 firmware too):
