Help for travelers to Helsinki
by Quincey Koziol 31 Aug '09

31 Aug '09

Hi all, I've been talking to an HDF5 user in Helsinki and he's offered the following help for getting from the airport to the Radison SAS Royal hotel (below). Hopefully some other MPI Forum members that are attending the Helsinki meeting will benefit from his information also. :-) Regards, Quincey Begin forwarded message: > From: Vesa Paatero <Vesa.Paatero(a)biolinscientific.com> > Date: August 31, 2009 4:59:19 AM CDT > To: 'Quincey Koziol' <koziol(a)hdfgroup.org> > Subject: RE: HDF5 developer visit? > > Hi Quincey, > > Thanks for asking about the trip from airport.

Helsinki meeting
by Graham, Richard L. 14 Aug '09

14 Aug '09

I have received no feedback on the agenda for the meeting at Helsinki. At this stage I need to decide if to keep the second room we have reserved for the meeting. As of now, the working groups that would use the second room are the tools work and the Fortran working group. - Jeff/Craig: is the Fortran working group planning to meet ? - Martin: is the Tools working group planning to meet ? Are there other working groups that do not appear on the schedule that will want to meet ? Please respond to this ASAP, so I can make a decision on the second room. Thanks, Rich

Re: [Mpi-forum] MPI-3 guidance
by Graham, Richard L. 05 Aug '09

05 Aug '09

What we have agreed to ask each group to do is to - Provide a charter for the group - A list of assumptions being used to define the new/modified capabilities within MPI For example: (not intended to be a real proposal) In dealing with threads the charter may be "make threads MPI addressable objects" Assumptions: - Each thread will have a different address - threads share memory - .... The intent is for this to frame the discussions within the forum, and these will obviously be debated in the working groups. The working group leader should be ready to present these to the full forum at the Portland meeting, giving ample time to discuss these. Earlier is better :-) Rich On 8/4/09 12:34 PM, "Jeff Squyres" <jsquyres(a)cisco.com> wrote: In Chicago last week, there was discussion about top-level guidance for all the MPI-3 working groups (e.g., each WG needs to come up with a list of bullets of what they're trying to achieve).

MPI-3 guidance

In Chicago last week, there was discussion about top-level guidance for all the MPI-3 working groups (e.g., each WG needs to come up with a list of bullets of what they're trying to achieve). Given the short timeframe before the next Forum meeting, can this top-level guidance be sent out so that each of the WGs can have have time to generate something to show / discuss in Helsinki?

Re: [Mpi-forum] Sept 2-4 MPI Forum meeting in Helsinki

Both numbers failed, but the reservation worked out per email ('reservations.finland(a)radissonblu.com'). Refer to the MPI09 group code. -----Original Message----- From: mpi-forum-bounces(a)lists.mpi-forum.org [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Torsten Hoefler Sent: Tuesday, July 21, 2009 5:41 PM To: Main MPI Forum mailing list Subject: Re: [Mpi-forum] Sept 2-4 MPI Forum meeting in Helsinki On Tue, Jul 21, 2009 at 11:34:58AM -0400, Rich L.

It's a bit complex because the front desk doesn't accept the group rate. However, they will give you another number (+358201234700 or 08001158775) which is the central SAS reservation number. The 0800 is a European toll-free number, so I don't know if it's possible to call it from the US (I failed), however, the other one works :). There you can make the reservation by just asking for the group rate "MPI09" (they will find the right hotel with this hint). You have to ask for a confirmation email (they won't do it by default).
