Hello, we will have the first reading of the nonblocking collective operation proposal tomorrow morning 9:30am (the schedule was changed slightly). We will discuss topological collectives before and after this (if there is time left). The latest document is available at: https://svn.mpi-forum.org/trac/mpi-forum-web/wiki/NBColl A temporary copy of the current version is also available at: http://www.unixer.de/sec/nbc-proposal-12-16-2008.pdf Changes to the MPI 2.1 document are: - Section 5.1 - additions are underlined, deletions are striked - Section 5.12 - completely new - Section 5.13 - Example 5.28 - Example 5.33 are new Any updates will be posted to the wiki and to the mpi3-coll mailinglist. Please review the proposal and provide me comments either today or tomorrow morning during the reading.

FYI new logo proposal(s) coming
by Anthony Skjellum 16 Dec '08

16 Dec '08

Mike Mott, who used to work for MPI Software Technology, Inc, and was our resident artist, is preparing some MPI-3 logo concepts. He has volunteered to update our MPI-2 logo. You will get a chance to "vote" on these. He is doing this to continue the (free) tradition of creating the MPI forum logos. Hope this meets with everyone's approval (if not, we don't have to use what he comes up with)... -- Anthony Skjellum, PhD Professor and Chair Dept. of Computer and Information Sciences University of Alabama at Birmingham +1-(205)934-8657; FAX: +1- (205)934-5473 It has been said that MPI is the worst form of parallel programming except all the others that have been tried. ___________________________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY: This e-mail and any attachments are confidential and may be privileged.

With regards to collective, please see www.data-re.org
by Anthony Skjellum 16 Dec '08

Most of you will not remember this, but one of the DARPA projects that I worked on a decade ago (besides MPIRT) was the Data Reorganization Initiative. It was a specific set of collective operations to replace "MPI_Alltoall*" with more scalable and It has been implemented with non-MPI-specific APIs for DOD-based parallel computers, and it has been reused in part by people doing VSIPL++. There is a lot of interesting information here on specific high performance collective operations related to data motion, and I want everyone doing MPI-3 to know about it. If there is interest, we could develop proposals on bringing in some of these capabilities into extended collective operations for MPI-3. Please see www.data-re.org Regards, Tony -- Anthony Skjellum, PhD Professor and Chair Dept. of Computer and Information Sciences University of Alabama at Birmingham +1-(205)934-8657; FAX: +1- (205)934-5473 ___________________________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY: This e-mail and any attachments are confidential and may be privileged.

Hi Rolf, This looks good. I plan to post one of these at the ASC booth -- I'll get the booth number to you later. However, there's a typo in the pdf if you have time to fix it and send out a new version. It should read "We are a member ..." instead of "We are member". -Adam Rolf Rabenseifner wrote: > Dear member of the MPI Forum, > > I was asked, whether I can sell the MPI-2.1 hardcover book also > at SC08 in Austin.
