have a quorum next week. Let's shoot for the week after
that:
Monday, June 16, 2008, 9:00 am PDT/noon EDT/18:00 CEST yes/no/plan
B
Tuesday, June 17, 2008, 9:00 am PDT/noon EDT/18:00 CEST yes/no/plan

Hi
everybody,
It
looks to me that we're on subsetting crossroads at the moment. There was a lot
of good analysis so far, but I'm afraid we're slow on moving towards comparably
sized synthesis.
On one
hand, we have a rather well defined and strictly aimed proposal from Dick that
might fit into MPI-2.2 framework and is somewhat related to subsetting. We also
have a wider proposal from Jeff, which also has interesting
repercussions in the client/MPI data exchange area, potentially usable well
outside of the subsetting per se.
On the
other hand we have a lot of things coming into the standard in MPI-3, and still
no clear way to manage this complexity and cater for special purpose MPI
configurations that may be necessary for MPI to expand to new
areas. Moreover, the meeting in Chicago showed that not
everybody agrees that introducing flexibility or going beyond the traditional
HPC is a good idea at all.
On
this backdrop, I'd suggest we should meet on the phone before the Forum
gathering in Menlo Park, and try to develop a workable proposition how
subsetting can find its way into the standard.
I
happen to have time for such a meeting on the following days next
week:
Tuesday, May 10, 2008, 8:00 am PDT/11:00 am EDT/17:00
CDT yes/no/plan B
Wednesday, May 11, 2008, 8:00 am PDT/11:00 am EDT/17:00
CDT yes/no/plan B
Thursday, May 12, 2008, 8:00 am PDT/11:00 am EDT/17:00
CDT yes/no/plan B
Please reply as usual to me whether you can
make any of these slots.
Best
regards.
Alexander
PS.
This time I took special care to have a subsetting slot at the F2F meeting.
