Yeah I was planning on using that document as a starting point. I wanted to look over it again and see if anything needs to change given some of the discussions that we have been having in the group. It may also need some additional language about MPI2 interfaces. It has been while since I have looked over this particular document. I would also like to add some more control for process startup, but we may decide to take that on as a secondary step. Does UTK still have the LaTeX for that document somewhere? Do you know if Graham would be interested in participating in this development? Cheers, Josh On Feb 12, 2009, at 10:43 AM, George Bosilca wrote:

Josh, the document that you talk about already exist. It was published in ISC'04. Here is the link:http://www.netlib.org/utk/people/JackDongarra/PAPERS/isc2004-FT-MPI.pdf
