The 1.5 release includes updates to the libfabric API and ABI. As a result, the ABI bumps from 1.0 to 1.1. All changes are backwards compatible with previous versions of the interface. The following features were added to the libfabric API. (Note that individual providers may not support all new features). For full details see the man pages.
- Authorization keys Authorization keys, commonly referred to as job keys, are used to isolate processes from communicating with other processes for security purposes.
- Multicast support Datagram endpoints can now support multicast communication.
- (Experimental) socket-like endpoint types New FI_SOCK_STREAM and FI_SOCK_DGRAM endpoint types are introduced. These endpoint types target support of cloud and enterprise based middleware and applications.
- Tagged atomic support Atomic operations can now target tagged receive buffers, in addition to RMA buffers.
- (Experimental) deferred work queues Deferred work queues are enhanced triggerred operations. They target support for collective-based operations.
- New mode bits: FI_RESTRICTED_COMP and FI_NOTIFY_FLAGS_ONLY These mode bits support optimized completion processing to minimize software overhead.
- Multi-threaded error reporting Reading CQ and EQ errors now allow the application to provide the error buffer, eliminating the need for the application to synchronize between multiple threads when handling errors.
- FI_SOURCE_ERR capability This feature allows the provider to validate and report the source address for any received messages.
- FI_ADDR_STR string based addressing Applications can now request and use addresses provided using a standardized string format. This makes it easier to pass full addressing data through a command line, or handle address exchange through text files.
- Communication scope capabilities: FI_LOCAL_COMM and FI_REMOTE_COMM Used to indicate if an application requires communication with peers on the same node and/or remote nodes.
- New memory registration modes The FI_BASIC_MR and FI_SCALABLE_MR memory registration modes have been replaced by more refined registration mode bits. This allows applications to make better use of provider hardware capabilities when dealing with registered memory regions.
- New mode bit: FI_CONTEXT2 Some providers need more than the size provided by the FI_CONTEXT mode bit setting. To accomodate such providers, an FI_CONTEXT2 mode bit was added. This mode bit doubles the amount of context space that an application allocates on behalf of the provider.
- The OFI 1.5 BGQ provider officially supports the Open Fabrics Interfaces utilized by the MPICH implementation of the MPI-3 standard. In addition to the MPICH test suite it has been tested by several scientific applications running MPICH on BGQ at scale, and several bugs in the provider and MPICH have been identified and fixed. At least one INCITE project is attempting to use it for production science. Support of this provider is a high- priority for ALCF, and MPICH users on BGQ are encouraged to utilize it to compare function and performance against the PAMI-based default toolchain. Any discovered bugs will be quickly addressed with high priority. Results so far have shown significant point-to-point and RMA latency improvements over PAMI as well as RMA functional improvements at scale. The only potential drawback is collective performance degradation against the PAMI optimizations, but at certain message and partition sizes, performance has been observed to be comparable or even better.

Add fork support. It is enabled by default and can be turned off by setting the FI_FORK_UNSAFE variable to "yes". This can improve performance of memory registrations but also makes fork unsafe. The following are the limitations of fork support:
- Fabric resources like endpoint, CQ, EQ, etc. should not be used in the forked process.
- The memory registered using fi_mr_reg has to be page aligned since ibv_reg_mr marks the entire page that a memory region belongs to as not to be re-mapped when the process is forked (MADV_DONTFORK).
