These are the meeting minutes for EWG/OFED meeting for June 29 09 Meeting summary ============= 1. OFED 1.5 pre-alpha release will be done next Monday (July 6) 2. OFED 1.4.2: Will be done with critical Lustre and NFS/RDMA fixes only. Will have only partial QA. 3. RDMAoE: We will wait to see the progress with Linux kernel
Details: ====== 1. OFED 1.5 feature freeze date Decided to wait with feature freeze till we know what is the status of RDMAoE and new ipath driver. All other components are ready for feature freeze (major features are in, bug fixes will be done later) In order to enable testing to start we will create pre-alpha release on Monday next week. AIs: - Qlogic to provide a date for ipath driver to be ready - Mellanox to work with kernel maintainers on RDMAoE - Tziporet to check the status of management package with Sasha the maintainer 2. OFED 1.4.2 - there is a request from Sun to have bug fixes only release since there are critical bugs that prevent Lustre to run over OFED 1.4 and 1.4.1 Decision: We will do 1.4.2 but only with the needed bug fixes. Only partial QA will run not to impact OFED 1.5 release. Jon for OGC will look into the bugs. Note: The interop was already done with 1.4.1 and will not be done for 1.4.2. 1.4.2 will be recommended only for customers that will need the new bug fixes only. 3. RDMAoE: There was a long discussion on RDMAoE in OFED 1.5 I will not summary all the discussion, since many items were already raised on the list. Outcome: We wish to see progress with the kernel maintainers. Decision will be delayed in few weeks based on this progress. We do not wish to start voting on features 4. MPI in OFED: Decision in XWG was not to change for 1.5 and bring it as a BOF in SC09 with the customers MPI versions to be in OFED 1.5: - Open MPI: 1.3.x or 1.4 (based on Open MPI latest version) - MVAPICH: 1.2 - MVAPICH2: 1.4 New MMU notification: - New code is being tested with Roland. There is still a bug with Fortran that is under debug. - Kernel code was not yet submitted to the kernel. - After issue is resolved and if new code will be submitted we can consider if to take it to OFED too Tziporet _______________________________________________ ewg mailing list ewg@lists.openfabrics.org http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ewg
