Nice work, great tutorials.

You can easily do it;

Firstly,what is the number of your cores i5 / i7 /2
You should know that increasing no0 of processors , decreases solution time but makes your machine heavy for doing other work.
Follow picture steps then press,Ok

Hi ghost82,

I am trying to following your tutorial on windows 7. Would you share the infiniband driver used in your tutorial. I have the same infiniband adaptor.

Hi,
you need WinOF 2.1.2 no later version, otherwise drivers will not load.
I cannot find them on mellanox website...you can download them from here (win7):
ftp://ftp.supermicro.com/driver/Infi...2_win7_x64.msi

Hi,

Thanks for your help. I was able to repeat you work. The performance is very good.
It's about 1.36 time faster than normal 1G Ethernet connection.

Is the setup process the same on Windows if you want to use RDMA instead of IPoIB? I thought IPoIB was a poor choice over the native IB protocol.

Hi
Thanks a lot for this tutorial that will help lots of people. but I could not download the pdf file and I would be very thankful if anyone had time to send it to me using mail?
my mail is "power.pwoer123@gmail.com"
Also, I have a question about this tutorial. Does it work for further editions of windows and Ansys fluent; like windows 10 and Ansys 19.0?
