Dear all, MPI Collective WG is meeting today in a bit more than one hour. Please join us to discuss the different topics listed below. Tony Skjellum (TNTECH) is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Reconstitution - subsume partitioned, persistent, point-to-point and collective discussions 2. Items for good of the order form participants not covered below 3. Align with hybrid/streams work in pt2pt scope BIG PICTURE AGENDA FOR GROUP, NOT EVERYTHING FOR FIRST MEETING. 1. Discuss partitioned collective status and plans * Prior papers * Issues with synchronizing collectives * Prototypes * New ideas with buffer management * Path to standardization 2. Corollary issues with persistent collectives * Non-blocking init/free - not allowed 3. Related issue - handoff of control of user state * Handling the registration and registration of index vectors and data pointers * C++ way * C (and Fortran) way with registration callbacks at free * Removing ambiguity in the “zero time use case” and whenever a free is allowed to lazy in MPI that holds user state (so it can be released before MPI_Finalize). 1. Managing unexpected state in partitioned (and maybe persistent) operations * Elimination of PBUF_PREPARE in all partitioned considerations * Considering to “generalize” point-to-point partitioned to enable a) persistence better; b) buffer pools 1. Streaming collectives 2. Other things we “owe” short term * MPI_Parrived_any ticket — very useful with current partitioned point-to-point 3. Document enhancements * Revamping the collective chapter front-to-back (ask Puri if he had some input on prior tries at this?) * Making uniform the presentation of blocking, nonblocking, persistent, and future (partitioned) collective * Front matter needs a look for terms, definitions… --- Running minutes will be captured and shared. Recording whenever possible :-)
