Myricom: Extreme Performance Ethernet

Introduction

MX-10G (the Myri-10G version of Myrinet Express) is a low-level message-passing system for 10-Gigabit Myrinet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet networks. The MX software includes the MX library, drivers, Myrinet-NIC control program, and a network mapping program. MX-10G is available for Myri-10G PCI-Express Network Adapters.

MX-10G provides kernel-bypass operation for low latency and low host-CPU utilization over either 10-Gigabit Myrinet or 10-Gigabit Ethernet networks. In addition to MX over Myrinet (MXoM) and MX over Ethernet (MXoE), MX-10G includes IP communication (TCP/IP and UDP/IP) over either 10-Gigabit Myrinet (IPoM) or 10-Gigabit Ethernet (IPoE).

The MX-10G driver does not support timestamping.

For application or middleware developers who need to develop code using the MX API, refer to the MX API manual. MX-10G for Myri-10G PCI-Express Network Adapters and MX-2G for Myrinet-2000 PCI-X Network Adapters are fully compatible at the API and application levels, and use the same MPI and Sockets middleware.

Complete installation instructions and platform-specific information can be found in the README in the top-level directory of the source distribution.
