2015 User Group Workshop

The Annual OpenFabrics Software User Group (OFS-UG) Workshop was held in Monterey, California as an event with sessions related to understanding, implementing, and administering OpenFabrics Software (OFS) and the underlying hardware. This unique event brought together users of InfiniBand®, RoCE, and all RDMA technologies bundled in the OpenFabrics Software suite, providing them with a setting to talk together about the challenges and different opportunities using OFS. The workshop was held March 19-20.
