Supercomputing on FreeBSD

F

Anybody familiar with supercomputing on FreeBSD? Last time I checked, InfiniBand support didn't exist. I'm somewhat in the mood to make a little cluster with InfiniBand to start making a driver for FreeBSD. Perhaps there's a better protocol to use that FreeBSD supports, or I should look at instead of InfiniBand?

I just want to make this open discussion for the development of FreeBSD for use in supercomputing, or just powerful cluster computing.

FreeBSD already supports Infiniband, it's just not being built by default - you need to add
Code: 
WITH_OFED=1
to /etc/src.conf.
 
Ahh... thanks. I should have researched that properly by looking at options/source. I just read some (outdated) articles about it before.

Oh well... time to build one mean FreeBSD building cluster for clang.

In what version is this feature available????
I'm looking for Infiniband (IPoIB) support for pfSense 2.1 which is still a beta at this point, but getting closer to being an official release
