Sure, we can do webexes. I'll put them on the web site.

will there be the opportunity to join via WebEx or Skype? I cannot
promise to join for the full 4 hours, but for some topics it would be
great to join as I did in one of the last meetings.
Cheers,

We are getting quite a list to talk about (I'll also have some for the PMPI2 ready and I think we should take a look at Craig's wrapper generator) - I know Jeff is also busy in the hybrid WG, but we could have some of the discussions on Tuesday parallel to RMA if we need/want the time. Fab has two rooms for us all day on Tuesday as well.

wrote:FWIW, we're getting some interesting asks from users for MPI_T pvars:
- underlying network data
- But then how do you correlate it to MPI activity? Not as easy as you would think.
- other hardware / environment data
- CPU temperature, fan speed, ...etc. (think: IPMI-like data)
- Should these be reported once per server, or in every MPI process?
- stats that have traditionally been exposed via PMPI
- E.g., number of times MPI_Send was invoked
- other MPI layer data
- E.g., average depth of unexpected queue
Of this list, I think "other MPI layer data" is the only type of data I expected to expose via MPI_T (i.e., it's kinda what we designed MPI_T for). The others are all use cases that I was not previously expecting. Interesting.
Some of these are out of the scope that I would expected to be provided by MPI_T and could be provided by other libraries. I agree that I imagined it would be information specific to the MPI library or whatever it was already collecting. But, you are right, interesting!

I ask because, especially for pvars, if you loop over reading a bunch of them, they're not atomic, and you might not get consistent values. But if you can issue a single MPI_T read for N values all at once, you have a much better chance of getting an atomic/consistent set of values.
