Mainly to Marc Snir and Jim Cownie, who have contributed to this mail-discussion thread. This is a follow up to: IEEE Floating Point Behavior in http://www.cs.uiuc.edu/homes/wgropp/projects/parallel/MPI/mpi-errata/index.h... with mail discussion in http://www.cs.uiuc.edu/homes/wgropp/projects/parallel/MPI/mpi-errata/discuss... _________________________________________ If you want a clarification to be included into the standard and therefore, e.g., in MPI 2.1 Ballot 4, please send me your wording with the page and line references to MPI 1.1 or/and MPI 2.0 included. If all agree, that no clarification is needed, then I would finish this track.
