Here is the updated spreadsheet based on Dan's suggestions. I would really like the persistence WG to finalize this ASAP. I know Ryan would like to review the changes to the chapter before it is merged during tomorrow's meeting. If there is time left after that, I would like to discuss this.

I also agree with "ic" for the PREADY, PARRIVED procedures. ________________________________ From: HOLMES Daniel <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, July 15, 2020 12:42 PM To: Bangalore, Purushotham <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] <[email protected]>; [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [mpiwg-persistence] Summary of Semantics for Partitioned Communication Operations Hi Puri, Thanks for this - a great way to provoke some progress (no pun intended). I would suggest: move the rows dealing with MPI_PREADY and MPI_PARRIVED between MPI_START and MPI_WAIT, i.e. in the approximate calling order. Also, I would add “ic” for the new MPI_PREADY, MPI_PARRIVED, etc procedures - because the operation is definitely incomplete at the point in time they are called, during the time interval of their entire execution, and at the point in time they return - there is no possibility they could be completing or freeing procedures. What are the other footnotes: 7, 9, and 14? (I could look them up but I’d have to choose the same draft version as you because the numbering changed recently.)
