Hello! Just wanted to let everyone know Jiuxing has populated a mercurial tree (very kindly hosted by XenSource) with his code at the following site: http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/xen-smartio.hg This contains the current source code for a xen infiniband frontend and backend driver. The source code is in very preliminary stages of development, just a proof of concept for now (works). We have a long way to go. We''d like to invite interested folks to take a look and get involved in the continuing design and development as an open-source community. We will be putting up a Wiki page for this shortly on the Xen Wiki. Stay tuned... There is also a mailing list we set up for discussion on virtualization of smart I/O in Xen at: http://lists.xensource.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xen-smartio However, at Ian''s request we''re going to contain most discussion to xen-devel itself. (Please pardon my earlier post without a subject). thanks, Nivedita _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Hi James, Yes the mercurial tree is still the place to get the source code. Regarding documentation, we are still working on it but for now you can get some idea about the design from the following two papers: High Performance VMM-Bypass I/O in Virtual Machines (Usenix 06), and A Case for High Performance Computing with Virtual Machines (ICS 06). Although they are not yet available at the conference web sites, you can get tech reports from the OSU web site here: http://nowlab.cse.ohio-state.edu/publications/conf-papers/2006/usenix06.pdf and http://nowlab.cse.ohio-state.edu/publications/conf-papers/2006/huangwei-ics06.pdf Thanks, -Jiuxing James Lentini <jlentini@netapp.com> 05/15/2006 05:18 PM To Nivedita Singhvi/Beaverton/IBM@IBMUS cc xen-devel@lists.xensource.com, Jiuxing Liu/Watson/IBM@IBMUS Subject Re: Xen Infiniband Source Code Hosted On Thu, 6 Apr 2006, Nivedita Singhvi wrote:> Hello! > > Just wanted to let everyone know Jiuxing has populated a mercurial > tree (very kindly hosted by XenSource) with his code at the followingsite:> > http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/xen-smartio.hg > > This contains the current source code for a xen infiniband frontend > and backend driver.
