• SP2 further improves the performance and predictability of time sensitive applications through support for adaptive locking, OFED 1.3, and the Precision Time Protocol. • Adaptive locking modifies spinlocks to reduce operating system overhead times, dramatically improving the performance of throughput sensitive workloads. • OpenFabrics Enterprise Distribution (OFED) 1.3 is the latest open source RDMA software stack, enabling the implementation of high-speed interconnects based on InfiniBand and 10-Gigabit Ethernet. With SP2, Novell becomes the first Linux distributor to support customers using OFED 1.3. • Precision Time Protocol is a time transfer protocol standard that allows the precise synchronization of high-speed networks and provides accuracy in the nanosecond range compared to general operating system protocols like NTP and GPS.
