[Mpi3-rma] Notes from RMA working group concall, Dec 9, 2008
Attendees: Rajeev, Darius, Dave Goodell, Argonne Bill Gropp, UIUC Rich, Vinod, ORNL Jesper, Hubert, NEC Robert Blackmore, Su Huang, IBM Howard Pritchard, Cray Christian Bell, Myricom Someone from PNNL (missed the name) I may have missed others * Discussion on issues with non-cache-coherent systems. Vinod is preparing a presentation for the next Forum mtg. He needs input from vendors who have (or will have) systems that are not cache coherent or have special memory features. * Vinod is updating the existing proposal and will send out a new version before the Forum mtg. * Vinod will check with Dan Bonachea if he can attend next mtg and his thoughts on current proposal. * Discussion on how does the target know of completion. Vinod will clarify further in new version of proposal and FAQ. * Long discussion on how to represent the target address. Currently it is directly provided as a (void *), which won't work everywhere. There was some consensus that it needs to be an object of some kind. Care must be taken about scalability issues (don't want a process to a hold a list of everyone's addresses). * Ticket 35 (datatype and Op registration) and 37 (examples describing synchronization semantics) were briefly discussed. Jesper will make a presentation on 35 at the Forum mtg. Rajeev said having examples like in #37 is a good thing; we need to make sure they are correct (he thinks they are). If I have missed anything, please add. Rajeev
