Just wondering if GlusterFS developers are already working on VFIO support?? http://blogs.cisco.com/performance/open-mpi-over-linux-vfio/ http://lwn.net/Articles/474088/ With VFIO, normal Ethernet NICs can also perform OS-bypass - KVM/QEMU is adding support for it, and Cisco found that VFIO is useful in HPC environments and thus prototyped an Open MPI implementation that uses VFIO.
