This document describes the contents of the OpenSM 3.3 release.
OpenSM is an InfiniBand compliant Subnet Manager and Administration,
and runs on top of OpenIB. The OpenSM version for this release

1.1 Major New Features

* Support for HDR link speed and 2x link width
IBTA has recently (beyond IBA 1.3) added support for HDR link speed
and 2x link width.

* Nue routing algorithm.
The Nue routing is a novel topology-agnostic routing approach which
implicitly avoids deadlocks during the path calculation instead of
solving both problems separately. Nue routing heuristically optimizes
the load balancing, i.e., the number of routes per link, while
enforcing deadlock-freedom without exceeding a given number of
virtual lanes (VLs). Our Nue implementation for the InfiniBand subnet
manager supports any number of virtual lanes.

* Support for ignoring throttled links with DFSSSP.
Throttled links, either because they are faulty or throttled intentionally,
aren't good for the achievable performance of an HPC system.
During the discovery process, (DF)SSSP analyzes the theoretical maximum
enabled link speed, which both ends of a peer link support and compares it
to the actual link speed. If these numbers don't match, then the link is
ignored as potential path for routes between nodes. A similar comparison
is done for link width.

* Support for long transaction timeout for SM class transactions.
Currently, it is only used for optimized SL2VLMappingTable operations.
Option is long_transaction_timeout with default of 500 msec.

* Mesh Analysis for LASH routing algorithm.
The performance of LASH can be improved by preconditioning the mesh in
cases where there are multiple links connecting switches and also in
cases where the switches are not cabled consistently.
Activated with --do_mesh_analysis command line and config file option.

* Reloadable OpenSM configuration (preliminary implemented)
This is possible now to reload OpenSM configuration parameters on the
* Reloadable OpenSM configuration (preliminary implementation)
It is possible now to reload OpenSM configuration parameters on the
fly without restarting.

* Routing paths sorted balancing (for UpDown and MinHops)
