Not really. How do you want the user make sense of that? E.g., I call A on commA, fail on commA asynchronously while calling a totally unrelated B on commB that has no failures in it, and am kicked out of B into someone else's error handler saying some "A" on "comma" failed? And what now? I may even have A and commA out of scope by then, possibly forever. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Darius Buntinas Sent: Friday, October 21, 2011 9:35 PM To: MPI 3.0 Fault Tolerance and Dynamic Process Control working Group Subject: Re: [Mpi3-ft] Latest version of chapter With (regular) error handlers, they'll be called from within the function that raises the error. With failure notification, because they're being called as a result of an external event (process failure), you could be called from within any function, even one not related to the comm/file/win that you registered the process failure notification handler on. Does that make sense? -d On Oct 21, 2011, at 1:51 PM, Sur, Sayantan wrote:

Maybe we should that error handlers are called from MPI functions that are associated with that comm/file/win?

I just wanted to note that we want to distribute a copy of this chapter to the MPI Forum before the meeting. As such we are planning on sending out a copy at COB today (so Friday ~5:00 pm EDT) so that people have an opportunity to look at the document before the Monday plenary. So please send any edits or comments before COB today, so we can work them into the draft.
We will post the draft to the ticket, so that people know where to look for the current draft.
Thanks, Josh

Here's the latest version of the FT chapter is on the wiki (it's in a
new location on the main FT page under "ticket #276". Please have a look and comment.
Here's a direct link to the PDF: https://svn.mpi-forum.org/trac/mpi-forum-web/raw-
attachment/wiki/FaultToleranceWikiPage/ft.pdf
Here's a summary of the changes Josh and I made:
* Minor wording touchups * Added new semantic for MPI_ANY_SOURCE with the
MPI_ERR_ANY_SOURCE_DISABLED error code
* Coverted wording for all comm, win, fh creation operations to not require collectively active communicators (eliminate requirement for synchronization) * Added missing reader_lock to ANY_SOURCE example * Added case for MPI_WIN_TEST
and
One-sided section clarified that window creation need not be blocking clarified that RMA ops might not complete correctly even if synchronization ops complete without error due to process failures Process failure notification Added section describing new functions to add callbacks to comms, wins and files that are called when proc failure is detected Other wordsmithing/cleanup changes
