Hi Rich, Here's the description for the two items we have on the list: Const: make C bindings const-correct, except where backward compatibility would be broken. MPI_Count: Minimal support for large datatypes. -Fab From: mpi-forum-bounces_at_[hidden] [mailto:mpi-forum-bounces_at_[hidden]] On Behalf Of RICHARD GRAHAM Sent: Wednesday, May 11, 2011 8:30 PM To: mpi-forum_at_[hidden] Subject: Re: [Mpi-forum] MPI 3.0 One more thing. Those of you that have an item on the list (and those that are adding items) - please send me a 1-2 sentence explanation that we can use as a description. Thanks, Rich ________________________________ From: rlgraham32_at_[hidden] To: mpi-forum_at_[hidden] Date: Thu, 12 May 2011 01:46:58 +0100 Subject: [Mpi-forum] MPI 3.0 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.
