Any news on Infiniband ?

[Anthony Skjellum]

Hi, we have 8.7us for zero byte messages in our MPI/Pro library.  I've
heard a rumor that OSU is claiming 7.5 for their experimental MPI.

We've seen bandwidths of over 820Mbyte/s with Mellanox gear on page
aligned data, with SWGC chipset, but not at 128 byte size transfers.
