NE020 supports 4 SGEs. I don't know enough about SDP to know why it is
using this calculation for # of send_sge:

#define SDP_MAX_RECV_SKB_FRAGS (PAGE_SIZE > 0x8000 ? 1 : 0x8000 / PAGE_SIZE)

This is not a firmware problem.

Chien, does the NE020 support FMRs? I looked at the nes ofed-1.5 code
and it appears to do nothing in the map_phys_fmr functions.

We never implemented map_phys_fmr. Is it relevant to the # of SGEs?

No, but SDP uses FMRs. I don't think it will run without FMR support.

Hi Steve and Chien,

I understand that NE020 cards have problem with SDP connected with
map_phy_fmr (FMR stands for Fast Memory Region).
Is it possible to solve/fix this point?
If yes, have you an idea about the time that is necessary to code
development/build?
If no, can you suggest me a card that supports SDP protocol?

I work on NE020 cards from February 2010 for an INFN experimental
proposal, called REDIGO (Read out at 10 Gbits/s), about the data
acquisition and movement systems. The covergence of storage protocols
around 10 Gigabits/s Ethernet protocols shows that one way could be the
Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA). The goals are the investigations of
latency time, the throughput, the buffer size schemes and finally the
global event building bandwidth.

Do you know if NE020 cards have problems with librdma (RDMA procedures,
in general) and / or with MPI versions?

Thank you very much,
Andrea

Hi,

FMR are being used only in a special mode called ZCopy.

You could disable this mode by setting the module paramter
sdp_zcopy_thresh to 0, or by issuing:
# echo 0 > /sys/module/ib_sdp/parameters/sdp_zcopy_thresh

This means that you won't get the benefits of Zero-copy.

Hey Amir,

I don't think this helps because sdp_add_device() will not add rdma
devices that fail to create fmr pools.

So I guess you could key off of fmr pool failures and set
sdp_zcopy_thresh to 0 and allow the device to be used?

But what we really need is sdp support for fastreg_mrs as an
alternative to fmrs.

Steve.

You are right - I missed it.

Andrea, Please open a bug at bugzilla (https://bugs.openfabrics.org) -
so that you will be notified as soon as I will fix SDP not use FMR if
not supported.

As to fastreg_mrs support - I don't know this mechanism. Do you mean FRWR?

If you run into any issues, please email me. NE020 supports Mvapich,
Mvapich2, OpenMPI, Intel MPI and HP MPI.

Hi Amir,
Hi Chien,

I understand that the bug 2027 could be solved next week, so I will test
SDP protocol performance on NE020 cards.
Is it correct?
If yes, could you point out the code modifies?

Keep in touch and take care.
Regards,
Andrea

It should be a simple fix and I plan to do soon - just add yourself as
CC in bugzilla - that way I won't forget to notify you.

Hi Amir,

have you any news about bugs 2027 "SDP not respecting # SGEs as reported
from HW" and 2028 "SDP should support fastreg mrs"?

When those bugs will be fixed, I will test the NE020 cards performance
with SDP protocol and I will compare SDP and TCP.

Keep in touch,
