6x Storage-Server, each with 3x Intel-910 PCIe-SSD (OSD-xfs), Journal in 1GB RAM-Disk per OSD
plus 1x Client-server, each Server with 10GbE, Intel-QDR as well as MLX-FDR

The performance values are still scattering ...
(1 fio client job, 128 QD, 1TB of data, 60 seconds)
e.g. 
- read_4m_128, read_8m_128, randread_4m_128, randread_8m_128		approx. 2.2 GB/s on 56 GbIPoIB_CM and 56 GbSDP
- write_4m_128, write_8m_128, randwrite_4m_128, randwrite_8m_128	approx. 500 MB/s on 56 GbIPoIB_CM and 56 GbSDP,
									but     900 MS/s on 40 GbIPoIB_CM

Well, you have to compile the complete OFED stack (ib_core, ... ib_sdp) from one vendor.
MLX is running, the Intel status is 'wip' ... the cluster is up, but jerking ... 
(OSDs are getting out/in ... timeouts) looks like a shortage on ressource ?!

rsockets.so is up, but stuttering ... 

... and for the moment rsockets is UserLand only, in contrast to sdp.ko
