Agenda for September Meeting in Madrid
by Schulz, Martin 30 Jul '13

30 Jul '13

Hi all, I put up a very preliminary agenda for the next MPI forum meeting (on the web site at the usual place). It is still a bit sparse, but is based on the information I got so far (please let me know if I missed anything). I only received updates and/or requests from about half the WGs - if you haven't done so, please send me your requests for WG or plenary time as soon as possible. As a heads-up: I will be out of the country and unavailable (i.e., no email access) from 8/2 to 8/19 and, while Jeff Squyres has agreed to be a contact during this time in case of urgent matters, anything I will get after tomorrow is likely not ending up on the webpage until after I return. As for the quorum, it seems that we will reach quorum at the MPI forum meeting, so readings and errata votes will count (assuming they reach a quorum on the individual votes), but this is not 100% secure. To help us plan better, please let me know if you are planning to attend (if you haven't done so already). Also, please remember that tickets for errata items and readings must be announced to the forum mailing list at least 14 days before the start of the meeting. However, the sooner the better to help schedule the right time slots. Thanks!

MPI Forum Meeting in Madrid
by Schulz, Martin 26 Jul '13

26 Jul '13

Hi all, We are getting closer to the MPI Forum meeting in Madrid and hopefully everyone who is planning to attend has made their travel plans or is in the process of doing so. To help with the planning process and to get an early idea on whether we will achieve quorum, it would be great if at least one person from each institution who is planning to attend could send me email. This is of course non binding, but it would provide a good first oversight. Also, I'll ping all WG chairs for agenda items, but if there is anything else that you would like to add to the agenda, please let me know. My plan is to have a draft agenda online early next week. Thanks!

Availability of MPI 3 on recent production platforms
by Matthieu Dorier 24 Jul '13

24 Jul '13

Hi, The MPI 3 standard includes some very nice features, which I'm impatient to leverage in my projects, but being still recent, most platforms today (at least all production platforms I have access to) do not provide an implementation of it. I'm curious when do you think we will be able to say that a majority of platforms provide MPI 3, and that a code that uses MPI 3 can be seen as portable? (how long did it take between the release of the MPI 2 standard and its availability on most platforms?) Are you aware of platforms that already provide it? Best, Matthieu Dorier PhD student at ENS Cachan Brittany and IRISA http://people.irisa.fr/Matthieu.Dorier
