MPI Forum / Reminder to Register
by Martin Schulz 19 Sep '16

19 Sep '16

Hi all, If you are planning to attend the MPI Forum (later this week!), but haven¹t registered, yet, please do so AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! We are missing several registrations of people who we are fairly sure would attend. It would be very helpful to us to get the missing registrations before the start of the meeting, so we can determine whether we have quorum or not. Also note, registration for the forum and EuroMPI are separate the link for the forum registration is: http://www.epay.ed.ac.uk/browse/extra_info.asp?compid=1&modid=2&deptid=24&ca tid=95&prodid=2359 Thanks and see you (hopefully) Wednesday! Martin

Oops.

It’s not really any different than how things were before. From time to time, IU would update it’s servers or have some sort of outage. If we really want to have five 9’s, we can pay for commercial mailing list hosting, but when we were trying to decide what to do, that didn’t seem like a cost effective solution (vs. free). Having the mailing lists working the vast majority of the time is good enough.

What is the backup when Argonne goes offline due to power outage, electrical maintenance or somebody cutting the Internet connection on accident?

Hi all, If you looked at the forum website this afternoon, you’ll notice that it seems to be a little different. This is because after all this time hosting our site at Indiana University and the University of Illinois (Thanks IU and UI!), we’ve moved all of our web sites to GitHub. Everything has now been moved and consolidated to a single site with a consistent look and feel. mpi-forum.org<http://mpi-forum.org> has combined with meetings.mpi-forum.org<http://meetings.mpi-forum.org> and should be more readable on both your laptop and mobile device. I’ve migrated all of the archived information back through 2013 and I’m still working on moving the others (this is something that isn’t easily scriptable so it is very slow). If you need something older or want to make sure that I haven’t messed something up, the old web sites are still available at iu.mpi-forum.org<http://iu.mpi-forum.org> temporarily (probably through the end of the month). For various reasons, we’ve decided to wait a couple of weeks to move the mailing lists. That will happen around September 29th (after the meeting/conference is done), at which point, the mailing lists will move from IU to Argonne. This will probably involve a small amount of downtime, but when done, everything should act the same way it does now. The way the email archive looks will change (as will the links to old emails unfortunately). If you have any other questions or comments, let me know. Thanks, Wesley
