Can someone post a link to the ticket for MPI_Comm_split_type? Google finds me nothing on this function. Thanks, Jeff On Mon, Aug 29, 2011 at 1:22 PM, Rajeev Thakur <[email protected]> wrote:

6:39 - I would like the sentence to clearly say that it is the user's responsibility to pass a communicator whose processes can share memory. How about changing it to

"It is the user's responsibility to ensure that the communicator comm represents a group of processes that can create a shared memory segment that can be accessed by all processes in the group."

Then we should say what happens if the communicator contains processes that cannot share memory.

If the new function MPI_Comm_split_type passes, we need to remember to provide a reference here to it, because it is directly relevant for this use case.

Looks good. Some comments:

6:14 - baseptrs -> baseptr

6:26 - DISP_UNIT -> SIZE

6:30 - "among all processes" -> "among all processes in comm"

6:31 - "returns" -> "and returns"

6:32 - "be target" -> "be the target"

6:33 - "accessed" -> "accesses"

6:33 - change to "remote processes; the base pointers for other processes can be queried..."

6:35 - Much of the sentence "The returned memory..." seems to be a repetition of what has been said before.

7:10 - "as info key" -> "as an info key"

7:35 - MPI_WIN_FLAVOR_SHM is not defined in 11.2.6

Since the default allocation is supposed to be contiguous, is the intended implementation method supposed to be something like the following: � * wait for everyone to call the function � * gather everyone's local size; add it up � * allocate single, large shared memory � * return local pointers everywhere

Hello all,

We just posted a new update to the proposal (thanks to Bill for the comments!) to the ticket at https://svn.mpi-forum.org/trac/mpi-forum-web/attachment/ticket/284/

All the Best, Torsten
