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.
