Ticket #217 (https://svn.mpi-forum.org/trac/mpi-forum-web/ticket/217) is scheduled for a Formal Reading at the January, 2012 Forum Meeting in San Jose. The document attached to the ticket is the "External Interfaces" chapter, modified to add this proposal. Look for the "ticket217" marker. I've also attached that document to this e-mail. thanks, (See attached file: mpi3-ticket217-ei-2.pdf) _______________________________________________ Douglas Miller BlueGene Messaging Development IBM Corp., Rochester, MN USA Bldg 030-2 A401 [email protected] Douglas Miller/Rochester/IBM
