This is a proposal for MPI 2.1, Ballot 4. This is a follow up to: Incorrect use of MPI_IN_PLACE in description of MPI_ALLGATHER and MPI_ALLGATHERV http://www.cs.uiuc.edu/homes/wgropp/projects/parallel/MPI/mpi-errata/discuss... Jeff is right with his error report. I propose to remove the wrong text, because this (wrong) analogy is not needed for understanding the meaning of "in place" in MPI_ALLGATHER and MPI_ALLGATHERV. Proposal for MPI 2.1, Ballot 4: ------------------------------- On MPI-2.0, page 159, lines 23-28, remove the text "Specifically, ... ... n-1." On MPI-2.0, page 158, lines 25-31, remove the text "Specifically, ... ... n-1." ------------------------------- Discussion should be done through the new mailing list mpi-21_at_cs.uiuc.edu.
