internal program and output message names now refer to QLogic rather than
PathScale.

This version of InfiniPath provides support for all QLogic's HCAs, including:
InfiniPath QLE7140, which is supported on systems with PCIe x8 or x16 slots
■
InfiniPath QMI7140, which runs on Power PC systems, particularly on the IBM®
■
BladeCenter H processor blades
InfiniPath QHT7040 and QHT7140, which leverage HTX™. The InfiniPath
■
QHT7040 and QHT7140 are exclusively for motherboards that support
HTXcards. The QHT7140 has a smaller form factor than the QHT7040, but is
otherwise the same. Unless otherwise stated, QHT7140 will refer to both the
QHT7040 and QHT7140 in this documentation.
Expanded MPI scalability enhancements for PCI Express have been added. The
QHT7040 and QHT7140 can support 2 processes per context for a total of 16. The
QLE7140 and QMI7140 also support 2 processes per context, for a total of 8.
Support for multiple versions of MPI has been added. You can use a different version
of MPI and achieve the high-bandwidth and low-latency performance that is
standard with InfiniPath MPI.
