I sent this mail 4+ hours ago (when DNS still had a problem). :-) It looks like the problem has been resolved.

mpi-forum.org DNS is wonky right now
by Jeff Squyres 28 Jan '11

It looks like a problem with mpi-forum.org DNS cropped some time last night (I don't know if this mail will get through to the list in a timely fashion) such that many/all mpi-forum.org services are unreachable right now: - web sites - mailing lists - SVN - Trac Those servers are all functioning properly; they just can't be found by most clients because DNS appears to not be working. Hopefully, UIUC/ANL will be able to fix DNS shortly. -- Jeff Squyres jsquyres(a)cisco.com For corporate legal information go to: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/cri/

Draft of the MPIT Specification for the Presentation at February MPI Forum
by Martin Schulz 27 Jan '11

27 Jan '11

Hi all, As probably many of you know, the MPI-3 WG on tools has been (and is) working on an extension to MPI that allows tools (as well as adaptive runtime systems or applications) access to MPI internals. We have named this interface MPIT. The WG has converged on a draft for MPIT that we plan to introduce into the MPI forum process for inclusion into MPI-3. Following the new rules for MPI-3 standardization, I will be presenting this draft at the next MPI forum meeting on Tuesday afternoon. To help this discussion, the current version is attached to this email. As part of this proposal, we also propose to create an overarching chapter on tools, which includes both the existing (unmodified) PMPI interface and the new MPIT specification. This is reflected in the attached draft document. I will upload it to the Tools WG Wiki as well as the MPI SVN at the following URL (once the I can get back onto the servers, which seem to be down at the moment): https://svn.mpi-forum.org/svn/mpi-forum-docs/trunk/working-groups/mpi-3/too… Let me know if you have any questions or comments ahead of the presentation! Thanks, Martin ________________________________________________________________________ Martin Schulz, schulzm(a)llnl.gov, http://people.llnl.gov/schulzm CASC @ Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Livermore, USA

Rich -- I see 2 votes on Monday. Don't we need first readings for those changes, first? (or did we have those already, and I'm just forgetting that?)

Feb 7-9 MPI Forum meeting
by Graham, Richard L. 24 Jan '11

24 Jan '11

Just a reminder that today is the last day to reserve a room in the meeting room block. Also, I have updated the agenda again, based on new requests. Just a heads up for the next meeting in Chicago, Plenary session time is becoming a premium (and as a result, the availability of working-group time is going down), and I expect this to be more of an issue as we move ahead. I do not expect to be able to satisfy all requests in future meetings, so please get your requests in early.

Feb 7-9 meeting update
by Graham, Richard L. 21 Jan '11

21 Jan '11

Several items: - The agenda has been updated based on recent requests, please make sure your request has been satisfied. Also, we can still overlap some working group meetings with others, so please let me know if your working group needs time. - The hotel block has been a mess this time. For some reason the block was cutoff last Sunday, but this has been corrected, and rooms can now be reserved until Monday Jan 24th. We have filled only about half of our commitment so far. It is VERY likely that in future meetings we will not longer reserve a room block - too few people are using this. I know that for those coming from over-seas this is a real help, so if we drop this, we will still make some sort of equivalent arrangement, just one that does not end up costing the forum $'s if we don't meet the block commitment.

I'm happy to hear there is interest in my grequest work (which I've rather neglected over the last few years). Not that you need me to say so but feel free to run with that work and get it into shape. Here's one defect i've found over the years: the proposed grequest extensions have a way to define a class of generalized requests, but there's no corresponding routine to de-allocate that class. ==rob -- Rob Latham Mathematics and Computer Science Division Argonne National Lab, IL USA

The registration page for the meeting is now up at: https://www.ornl.gov/ccsd_registrations/nccs_mpi_forums/ We have rooms in the same location we had last time, and the first two days of the meeting are at the same location we met at last time. I will get the logistics page up in the next few days. Also, if you want a time slot for either a working group or a plenary session at the meeting, please let me know. The current requests are included in the current agenda. Thanks, Rich
