At the MPI forum meeting this week we decided to accelerate the release of MPI-3.0, and have a follow on MPI-3.1 when the more complete set of features is available. Currently, nonblocking collectives and MProbe have already been voted in. We have created a list of features that may be ready for first reading at the next couple of meetings, which will be used to determine the gating factors for the MPI-3.0 release. Here is the list we generated: - RMA - FT stabilization - Fortran bindings - MPI-T - Neighborhood collectives - Const - MPI Count - Nonblocking collective I/O - Hybrid: Shared memory communicator - Hybrid: Threads - Hybrid: Endpoints If people want to add more to this list, please let me know by end of the day Friday, 5/13/2011. Once we have the complete list, each eligible organization should vote for it's top three features, with respect to MPI-3.0. An organization is eligible to vote, if someone from that organization has participated in person at one or more meetings in 2011. The vote will take place 5/14-20/2011, and the top three items will be what gate the release of MPI-3.0. To vote, a representative of the organization should e-mail BOTH Jeff Squyres and myself with your vote. Other items that are voted in before 3.0 is final, will also be included. For MPI-3.1, we will change our process a bit, but that is still under discussion, and will be the subject of a future e-mail discussion. The eligible organizations include: - ANL - Bull - Cicso - Cray - Fujistsu - HDF - HLRS - HP - IBM - Indiana U. - INRIA - Intel - LLNL - LANL - Microsoft - NCSA/UIUC - ORNL - OSU - Oracle - SNL - U Alabama Birmingham - U Tennessee - U.
