Hi all, The tools WG met yesterday at the MPI forum in San Jose and we went over the MPIT document. We covered the text up to including 1.2.3. I will add the changes we discussed to the document in the next few days and I will post it on the wiki. We also went through the new category interface proposed by Dave (Section 1.2.6). Dave will update this section as well and we will include it in one of the next drafts. At the next TelCon on 12/13 we will pick up where we left off in San Jose and discuss 1.2.4, the control variables section. In particular, this section contains the new handle interface that allows the user to tie a variable to a particular dynamic instance of a MPI resource, e.g., a communicator. This is intended to avoid that an MPIT implementation that wants to have variables for each instance of an MPI resource, e.g., for each communicator, has to create a separate variable every time communicator is created. The text for this part is still a rough draft and hence any suggestions are more than welcome. Before going too much into the textual details, I would like to get some feedback on the concept itself and whether this solves the problems we discussed in the last TelCons. Please note that sections 1.2.5 and 1.2.7 are not yet edited. I will wait until we are done with 1.2.4, since much of the text will be copy and paste. Talk to you next Monday, Martin ________________________________________________________________________ Martin Schulz, [email protected], http://people.llnl.gov/schulzm CASC @ Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Livermore, USA
