Title: "High-Performance Message Passing over Ethernet with Open-MX, why and
how?"

Abstract: Open-MX is a message passing stack that offers the Myrinet Express
features on top of regular Ethernet hardware. We will see what problems one
can encounter when trying to mimic high-speed network capabilities without
having advanced hardware support underneath. Several solutions based on
I/OAT copy offload, interrupt affinities, and multiqueue support will be
discussed. Finally, we will see how working on intra-node communication in
Open-MX also lead to improving large message performance in MPICH2/Nemesis.
