Patent ID: 10560277

Abstract:
Systems and methods for providing multicast group multicast local identifier (MLID) dynamic discovery on received multicast messages for a relevant multicast global identifier (MGID) in a high performance computing environment. By allowing InfiniBand (IB) clients to associate local queue pairs (QPs) with the MGID(s) of relevant multicast group(s) without requiring any join request to the subnet manager (SM)/subnet administration (SA), it is possible to receive relevant multicast (MC) messages without imposing the SM/SA overhead of a conventional multicast group join request. After receiving, at an end-node of the subnet, a multicast packet including a multicast global identifier and a multicast local identifier, the end-node can inspect the multicast packet to learn the multicast local identifier and include the learned multicast local identifier in the multicast group record at the end-node for the received multicast global identifier.
