Threading/Hybrid and Point-to-point working groups
by Barrett, Brian W 14 Mar '13

14 Mar '13

Hi all - Sorry about the mail to everyone, but at the meeting this week, we had a number of discussions about potential topics for the next MPI release. Two discussions resulted in working groups growing / reactivating to take on new topics. If you're interested in either topic, please consider joining the relevant working group and looking at the list archives to find out about the next telecom. First, the hybrid working group is going to look at a number of issues regarding threads and MPI. This includes issues with generalized requests, initialization, and thread query. Those interested should definitely look at the mailing archives (or subscribe in the short term), as there is homework for the next call. Second, the point-to-point working group is reforming itself (after a very long idle period) to look at channel semantics, streaming compute / communicate models, and receive-and-modify models. Again, there is some homework / background reading for the next call. Thanks, Brian -- Brian W. Barrett Scalable System Software Group Sandia National Laboratories

Final version of the voting rules doc posted
by Jeff Squyres (jsquyres) 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

Per the discussion in the room today, I have posted a final version of the voting rules document on the agenda page: http://meetings.mpi-forum.org/secretary/2013/03/agenda.php *** This is the document that we will vote on tomorrow *** Here are the changes since it was mailed out several weeks ago (all based on feedback from the room today): 0. The first chapter -- the archival document -- was split off into a separate document. We are not voting on this document; it's just for historical note. 1. The final version number (1.3) and date (March 15, 2013) is on the title page. If the document passes tomorrow, it will go into effect on March 15, 2013 -- i.e., after this current meeting. 2. All red text was changed to black. 3. Added to both "suggestions" section: proposals should be applicable both now and for the conceivable future. 4. Explicitly disallow proxy voting ("Proxies are not permitted."). 5. Errata changes must now be published by the errata editor. 6. Word smything of the rule to change the rules document. -- Jeff Squyres jsquyres(a)cisco.com For corporate legal information go to: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/cri/

Re: [Mpi-forum] MPI Forum voting rules: v1.2

Have we looked at what rules other organizations follow, e.g., OpenMP? I was wondering how the proposed "abstain must be less than 1/4th of total" and "yes must be more than 75% of yes+no" compare with rules that others use.
