Description
Summary:At the application level, OFED offers programming interfaces (APIs) for sockets data movement, access to SAN and NAS storage, databases, and parallel computing clustering. OFED is available for Linux and Windows and it enables four industry standard interconnects - InfiniBand, iWARP, RapidIO, RoCE - delivering computing efficiencies as high as 90 percent and latency as low as sub-1 microsecond. In addition, OFED transports can work globally over area networks running on SONET/SDH, ITU-T G.709 OTN or Ethernet. "The OFA workshop is a networking opportunity for OFED users, product managers and developers to share their experiences with OFED and discuss what we need to accomplish in the next year," said Tom Stachura, chair of the OpenFabrics Alliance International Workshop. "Leading architects, developers, technologists and end users from various disciplines will come together and discuss the use of OFED in high performance computing and broader markets such as cloud computing, databases and enterprise data centers."
