Dear all, currently the working title of the PMPI replacement interface is QMPI. While this is a nice homage to a system that I mostly enjoy working on, it feels to me more like an "inside joke" lacking obvious relation between name and function. Already the name PMPI was misleading, as it eventually was used for more than just "profiling". I would propose MPI_C_ as a basis for discussion. It blends in well with the new MPI_T API prefix and the C would stand for "Callback". Furthermore, it describes what it _is_ rather that being presumptuous about what you do with it or who it is for (tools, ft, etc.). What do you think? Do you have other ideas? I know, a concrete name is not the most pressing issue we need to attend in this context, yet, in my experiences naming discussions take a long time, thus if we start this now, me might come to consensus by the time we have the rest of the API fleshed out. ;-) Cheers, Marc-Andre -- Marc-Andre Hermanns Jülich Aachen Research Alliance, High Performance Computing (JARA-HPC) Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC) Schinkelstrasse 2 52062 Aachen Germany Phone: +49 2461 61 2509 | +49 241 80 24897 Fax: +49 2461 80 6 99753 www.jara.org/jara-hpc email: [email protected]
