Nice work, great tutorials.

You can easily do it;

Firstly,what is the number of your cores i5 / i7 /2
You should know that increasing no0 of processors , decreases solution time but makes your machine heavy for doing other work.
Follow picture steps then press,Ok

Hi ghost82,

I am trying to following your tutorial on windows 7. Would you share the infiniband driver used in your tutorial. I have the same infiniband adaptor.

Hi,
you need WinOF 2.1.2 no later version, otherwise drivers will not load.
I cannot find them on mellanox website...you can download them from here (win7):

Hi,

Thanks for your help. I was able to repeat you work. The performance is very good.
It's about 1.36 time faster than normal 1G Ethernet connection.

Hello, updated links, after notifications by some users of expired links:

Is the setup process the same on Windows if you want to use RDMA instead of IPoIB? I thought IPoIB was a poor choice over the native IB protocol.

Good tutorial thanks for sharing !

What would you change in your tutorial for running on other OS like windows 10 or centOS ?
