    • Dual-Display Preview:
      • This feature is enabled in Lustre via the F7 mode.
      • In order for this feature to be properly configured the second output used by the graphics card needs to be connected to a monitor so the application can autodetect the resolution.
    • ALSA audio is a stereo (L/R) analogue audio out via HP headphone jack - this is a non-balanced audio signal.

     

    Decreased Performance in an InfiniBand Setup with FDR and Older InfiniBand Cards

    Mellanox FDR cards do not support communication over SDP. When communicating with older Infiniband cards (QDR, DDR), the Mellanox FDR card uses IP over IB. As a result, you might experience a decrease in performance when FDR cards are in communication with older Infiniband cards.
