by Richard Graham 08 Aug '08

08 Aug '08

We will need to go ahead with logistics for the upcoming meeting in Dublin within a week or so. I am aware of people who are planning to attend the Forum, but have not registered. Please register by the end of next week, Friday, 8/15/2008. We will base the food order on the number of people who have registered by that date. The link to the registration page is: https://www.ornl.gov/ccsd_registrations/nccs_mpi_forums/ Thanks, Rich

Thanks. Intel will support this. -----Original Message----- From: mpi-forum-bounces(a)lists.mpi-forum.org [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Adam Moody Sent: Friday, August 08, 2008 7:34 PM To: mpi-forum(a)lists.mpi-forum.org Subject: [Mpi-forum] Proposal to establish the Miscellaneous Working Group Hello all, I'd like to propose a new Miscellaneous working group as a placeholder for ideas which don't nicely fit into any of the existing working groups. At the moment, here are the topics I'd like to include in such a group. * Recommending standard names and options for MPI compiler wrappers, in the same way the 2.0 makes recommendations about mpiexec * Assembling test suites for 2.2 and 3.0, perhaps not blessed by the standard, but a place where all MPI developers can download and/or contribute tests to check their MPI meets the spec (or rather doesn't fail to meet the spec for some particular test case) * Organizing a survey to identify features that users currently use in MPI, and for feedback on new features proposed for 3.0 * Recommending standard tools interfaces, like MPIR_PROCDESC I'm willing to chair this group. Are there other organizations who would support it? -Adam Moody LLNL _______________________________________________ mpi-forum mailing list mpi-forum(a)lists.mpi-forum.org http://lists.mpi-forum.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/mpi-forum --------------------------------------------------------------------- Intel GmbH Dornacher Strasse 1 85622 Feldkirchen/Muenchen Germany Sitz der Gesellschaft: Feldkirchen bei Muenchen Geschaeftsfuehrer: Douglas Lusk, Peter Gleissner, Hannes Schwaderer Registergericht: Muenchen HRB 47456 Ust.-IdNr.

Hi Rolf, I just saw your mail yesterday. After making a quick survey here, we'll get 2 of them. Hope it's still possible to get it done. Skip this demand if it complicates too much your process.

HLRS will sell these books at cost price (17 Euro). We are not a publisher. We do not sell the book in book stores. It is a special service for large HPC centers in Euro countries.

My apologies for any inconvenience in non-Euro countries. PPPS: I expect that this book will be the first hardcover version of MPI. Please give me details, if I'm wrong.
