Only about the issues on #456 (shared memory syncronization):

For the ones requiring discussion, assign someone to organize a position and discussion. We can schedule telecons to go over those issues. The first item in the list is certainly in this class.

Who can organize telecons on #456. Would it be possible to organize a RMA meeting at SC? The position expressed by the solution #456 is based on the idea that the MPI RMA synchronization routines should have the same outcome when RMA PUT and GET calls are substituted by stores and loads. The outcome for the flush routines is still not defined. I would prefere to have an organizer of the discussion inside of the RMA subgroup that proposed the changes for MPI-3.1 rather that I'm the organizer. I tried to bring all the input together and hope that #456 is now state that it is consistent itsself and with the expectations expressed by the group that published the paper at EuroMPI on first usage of this shared memory interface. The ticket is (together with the help of recent C11 standadization) on a good way to be also consistent with the compiler optimizations - in other words - the C standardization body has learnt from the pthreads problems. Fortran is still an open question to me, i.e., I do not know the status, see https://svn.mpi-forum.org/trac/mpi-forum-web/ticket/456#comment:13 Best regards Rolf ----- Original Message -----

I looked through all of the tickets and wrote a summary of the open issues, which I’ve attached. I propose the following:

Determine which of these issues can be resolved by email. A significant number can probably be closed with no further action.

For those requiring rework, determine if there is still interest in them, and if not, close them as well.

For the ones requiring discussion, assign someone to organize a position and discussion. We can schedule telecons to go over those issues. The first item in the list is certainly in this class.

Comments?
