    Abstract: Systems and methods for using multiple CE (congestion experienced) flags in both FECN (forward explicit congestion notification) and BECN (backward explicit congestion notification) in a high performance computing environment. An exemplary method can provide a first subnet comprising a plurality of switches, a plurality of host channel adapters, and a plurality of end nodes. The method can receive, at an end node attached to a host channel adapter, an ingress packet from a remote end node, wherein the ingress packet traversed at least a portion of the first subnet prior to being received at the end node. The method can, on receiving the ingress packet, send a response message from the end node attached to the host channel adapter to the remote end node, the response message indicating that the ingress packet experienced congestion during the traversal of the at least a portion of the first subnet.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for supporting target groups for congestion control in a private fabric in a high performance computing environment. An exemplary method can provide, at one or more microprocessors, a first subnet, the first subnet comprising a plurality of switches, a plurality of host channel adapters, and a plurality of end nodes, including a plurality of virtual machines. The method can define a target group on one of an inter-switch link or at a port of a switch of the plurality of switches, wherein the target group defines a bandwidth limit on the at least one of an inter-switch link between two switches of the plurality of switches or at a port of a switch of the plurality of switches. The method can provide a target group repository stored in a memory of the host channel adapter where the defined target group in the target group repository is recorded.
