    Abstract: Systems and methods for using InfiniBand routing algorithms for Ethernet fabrics in a high performance computing environment. The method can provide, at a computer comprising one or more microprocessors, a plurality of switches, a plurality of hosts, a topology provider (TP) module, a routing engine (RE) module, and a switch initializer (SI) module. The method can perform a discovery sweep, by the TP, of the plurality of hosts and the plurality of switches and assigns an address to each of the plurality of hosts and the plurality of switches. The method can calculate, by the routing engine, a routing map, based upon a routing scheme, for the plurality of hosts and the plurality of switches, the routing map comprising a plurality of forwarding tables. The method can configure, each of the plurality of switches with a forwarding table of the plurality of forwarding tables calculated by the routing engine.

    Abstract: A system and method can support efficient packet processing in a network environment. The system can comprise a thread scheduling engine that operates to assign a thread key to each software thread in a plurality of software threads. Furthermore, the system can comprise a pool of direct memory access (DMA) resources that can be used to process packets in the network environment. Additionally, each said software thread operates to request access to a DMA resource in the pool of DMA resources by presenting an assigned thread key, and a single software thread is allowed to access multiple DMA resources using the same thread key.
