Final document of the night
by Jeff Squyres 19 Jul '12

19 Jul '12

Yesterday at the Forum, we utilized the power of having a few dozen people sitting together in a room and did a LOT of text/ticket/chapter reviews. This resulted in finding a LOT of little issues (and a few big ones). If chapter committee members were in the room, they fixed and committed the text. But for committees that had no representatives in the room, we made the executive decision to make the fixes ourselves, review them, and then commit them. This really helped keep the momentum going, and we made a TREMENDOUS amount of progress yesterday. I apologize if this caused some consternation to chapter authors/committees who were not in the room. ### Please review SVN commit logs and ensure that everything is ok in your chapter. ### Chapter committees *NEED* to do whole-chapter reviews to ensure that everything is a good, consistent state. As Bill mentioned, use the "cleandoc" build. *** To those who were in the room: Thank you thank you thank you for all the reviewing yesterday! I have uploaded a final cleandoc PDF from last night: http://www.open-mpi.org/~jsquyres/unofficial/mpi-report-cleandoc-r1455.pdf Here's the specific items I'm aware of that still need to be done (I'm sure there are other things, too): 1. The names and organizations in the front matter need to be updated (I sent Bill the info yesterday) 2. Change log is still being edited (there's still lots of issues with it; don't bother reviewing it until Rolf has committed a new version) 3. There's 1 last C++ type still showing up in the index; Rolf will fix it 4. Ticket #313 5. Chapter committees need to have final chapter reviews and bless their chapters as "done!" -- Jeff Squyres jsquyres(a)cisco.com For corporate legal information go to: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/cri/

Here's the PDF from the ticket-281 branch: http://www.open-mpi.org/~jsquyres/unofficial/ticket-281-branch.pdf And the SVN command you can use to look at the latex diff on that branch for your chapter (since they didn't use all the right \MPIdelete macros and whatnot): svn diff -r 969:HEAD https://svn.mpi-forum.org/svn/mpi-forum-docs/trunk/working-groups/mpi-3/bw-…<YOUR_DIRECTORY_NAME> Put your directory name in there to get just the diff for the chapter that you are reviewing.

by Richard Graham 18 Jul '12

18 Jul '12

In the meeting today, we discussed changing the schedule for the Sept meeting in Vienna.

Re: [Mpi-forum] [MPI Forum] #286: Noncollective Communicator Creation

Fair enough. If we want to have info arguments to communicator constructors moving forward (as MPI_Comm_dup_info implies), then we should add the argument to this routine. ~Jim.

I suspect the info hint nowildcards=true would be useful for some implementations. Note also the MPI_Comm_dup_info call; its not just split_type.

make cleandoc
by William Gropp 18 Jul '12

18 Jul '12

I've fixed things so that both make and make cleandoc work. Note, however, that reviews *must* be performed on the official document, which you get with make cleandoc The version with changes is not official and often obscures problems in the document. The version with changes is useful to identify where to look at the official version, but must not be used as the review copy.
