Hi Marc-Andre I’m afraid I have a conflicting meeting at the time of this one, and so I cannot attend. However, I would like to bring forward something that Martin proposed at SC a few weeks ago. We were discussing PMIx and the capabilities it offers, and Martin suggested perhaps exposing those to users via the MPI_T definitions (as opposed to users directly calling PMIx) as a way of offering a little more abstraction. Might be worth some initial discussion, if time permits. I believe you will have some folks there who are at least somewhat familiar with PMIx. Ralph

Hi all,
For everyone wanting to join via WebEx, here is the agenda page with the link:

On the second day of the forum face-to-face meeting, we are going to focus on the performance tools.
The fall has been rough on our progress here, as we only had a single call since Edinburgh to recap on MPI_T events.
I hope Kathryn can lead the call on site (as it's always a little tricky to track the conversation being the only one on Webex ;-))
From the MPI_T events side of things, I'd like to discuss:
- In Edinburgh, Martin actually wanted to allow to read events as a whole. How do we communicate the padding to the user?
- How are we going to allow tools to attach and detach additional event buffers to the system?
- Regarding timestamps, what structure should MPI_T_time have. Single 64-bit value, with implementation dependent internals? Should we fix the internals?
Finally, as I assume Jeff and Martin to be there, it would also be good, to revisit PMPI2 as well.
Cheers, Marc-Andre
