iWARP RDMA Solution for Superfast NFS-RDMA Rendering

Have you messed around with an all Mellanox solution end to end which provides 56Gb ethernet?  Im curious how that would play out.

I assume you went IB due to the extra 16Gb over a standard 40Gb ethernet solution?

We are implimenting a new age renderfarm here for R&D. Looking heavily into RDMA over InfiniBand 56G. Associative iWARP technology. Standardization completed in 2013 and now part of Redhar and Debian and Windows Server 2012 via SMB.

Anyone implimenting the RDMA 2013 Protocols?

Initial tests show absolutely HUGE data speeds and with 10GB or InfiniBand 56G, can do memory to memory dumopoes of 40GB/sec without ANY CPU LOAD. Meaning alll that handling and error checking and other shite found on all current renderfarms (NFS or SMB or AFS) is completed avoided. Hence pure speed from CPU on rendernode flat to NFS/RDMA storage. Rendertimes looking to be sped up by an order of magnitude.

Looked at a lot off GIS and Remote Sensing / Seimsology corps last night, and it seems that there data handling has been beefed up quite considerably with these new standards.
