Abstract:
Systems and methods for InfiniBand fabric optimizations to minimize SA access and startup failover times. Based on the combination of path record parameters defined with values from the Homogeneous Fabric/Subnet flag (or configuration parameter), as well as the GID and SLID information defined by IPoIB ARP requests and responses, there is no additional need for SA requests to obtain path records or path related information in general.

Claim (Index 15):
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, including instructions stored thereon for providing a path record in a high performance computing environment, which when read and executed by one or more computers cause the one or more computers to perform the steps comprising:\n providing, at one or more microprocessors, a first subnet, the first subnet comprising\n a plurality of switches, the plurality of switches comprising at least a leaf switch, wherein each of the plurality of switches comprise at least one switch port of a plurality of switch ports, \n a plurality of host channel adapters, wherein each of the host channel adapters comprise at least one host channel adapter port of a plurality of host channel adapters ports, and wherein the plurality of host channel adapters are interconnected via the one or more switches, \n a plurality of hosts, and \n a subnet manager, the subnet manager running on one of the plurality of switches and the plurality of host channel adapters; \n determining, by the subnet manager, that a set of the plurality of host channel adapter ports and a set of the plurality of switch ports support a same set of capabilities; upon the subnet manager determining that a set of the plurality of host channel adapter ports and a set of the plurality of switch ports support the same set of capabilities, configuring, by the subnet manager can, an SMA flag, the SMA flag indicating that a condition can be set for each of the plurality of host channel adapter ports and the plurality of switch ports; receiving a packet can be from a remote port, the received packet comprising a source LID and a source GID at a port on a switch in the first subnet; and combining the source LID and the source GID with the SMA flag to determine a complete path record between a port at which the packet is received and the remote port.
