In this video from the Mellanox booth at SC12, Hoot Thompson from NASA Center for Climate Simulation presents: Virtualized Infiniband based on SR-IOV – Enabling HPC in the Cloud.

The SR-IOV specification was created and is maintained by the PCI SIG, with the idea that a standard specification will help promote interoperability.
