Hi all, Attached is DRAFT copy of a document in PDF format that contains a description of the MPIR Process Acquisition Interface. I think it's still pretty raw and there's more information and clarification needed, but it is fairly complete and should serve as solid foundation material for a more formal interface description that could be incorporated into the standard. I can be prepared to discuss this paper during the March 2010 meeting, if the MPI-3 Tools Workgroup deems it appropriate. Note that to date, I have made no effort to more formally document the MPIR Message Queue Display Interface. I inserted a placeholder at the end of the attached document as a reminder that this is a TO-DO item. Cheers, John D.
